A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man


 

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is a semi-autobiographical coming-of-age by James Joyce, published in 1916. It is the story of the growth and education of Stephen Dedalus, an alter-ego for Joyce. The work pioneers some of Joyce's modernist techniques that would later come to fruition in Ulysses and Finnegans Wake.
