With an Introduction and Notes by Dr. Jacqueline Belanger, University of
Cardiff. A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man represents the
transitional stage between the realism of Joyce's Dubliners and the
symbolism of Ulysses, and is essential to the understanding of the later
work.
This novel is a highly autobiographical account of the
adolescence of Stephen Dedalus, who reappears in Ulysses, and who comes
to realize that before he can become a true artist, he must rid himself
of the stultifying effects of the religion, politics and essential
bigotry of his background in late 19th century Ireland. Written with a
light touch, this is perhaps the most accessible of Joyce's works.
