James Joyce's first novel, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
is a Kunstlerroman which chronicles the emotional and intellectual
development of Stephen Dedalus - a character partly based on the
author himself - from his early childhood and his school and
university days all the way to his first forays as a young artist.
Dedalus's thoughts and epiphanies reveal the tensions, insecurities
and feelings of guilt that are the product of living in a country
and period so deeply divided along religious and political lines.
Pioneering an innovative stream-of-consciousness technique
characteristic of early Modernism, and often resorting to mythical,
historical and literary allusion which would find fuller expression
in Ulysses, Joyce's groundbreaking work shocked the readers of its
day and continues to challenge analysis and interpretation.
