James Joyce's first novel, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916) is a captivating evocation of the emotional, intellectual and creative coming of age of the young Stephen Dedalus, essentially Joyce's alter ego. The originality and inventiveness of its modernist style prefigures Joyce's yet more experimental masterpiece Ulysses and offers a profound, poetic insight into Joyce himself as well as a personal journey of awakening and rebellion.

About the Author
Irish novelist, poet, short story writer, critic and teacher James Joyce (1882-1941) is one of the most important and influential writers of the twentieth century. His literary Modernist works used writing techniques that were experimental for the time. Perhaps his most famous work, Ulysses (1922) is best known for its use of interior monologue, revealing the innermost thoughts and feelings of characters in a stream of consciousness style. Joyce's portrayal of human nature, alongside vivid depictions of life in Dublin, have cemented him as a major literary influence to writers throughout and beyond the twentieth century.
