James Joyce’s deeply personal and “most memorable novel” (H. G. Wells) detailing the spiritual and artistic awakening of Stephen Dedalus, now freshly repackaged for the Union Square & Co. Signature Classics line. James Joyce’s semi-autobiographical first novel explores the author’s own love-hate relationship with Ireland through Stephen Dedalus, Joyce’s literary alter ego. Dedalus yearns to be an artist, but must first overcome the aspects of Irish society, like school and the church, that he feels restrains his creativity and stifles his soul. Joyce’s use of experimental literary techniques, including stream of consciousness, is on full display in his first novel, which he further develops in his later works, Ulysses and Finnegan’s Wake.

James Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is a landmark in the history of the English novel, though few readers can really enjoy it. It is a remarkable book but it has no "popular" appeal. Its theme is abstract, being the development of a mind or soul; and its style of writing is not simple or lucid. It is a psychological novel, concerned with the inner consciousness of the hero. It has scanty external action, and the element of love (which every reader seeks in a work of fiction) in it, is negligible. On the whole, it offers tough reading.The present book is intended to meet the examination requirements of university students but it also endeavours to bring Joyce's novel within the comprehension of readers. Almost every aspect of the novel has adequately been dealt with and every effort has been made to acquaint the student with different approaches to it."No originality is claimed for this work. It is not a research paper. The object was to select and co-ordinate available critical matter, and to present it with suitable illustrations from the text, in an easily intelligible and assimilable form."
