This early work by James Joyce was originally published in 1915 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introduction. 'A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man' is a semi-autobiographical novel that tells the story of the youth of Stephen Dedalus, a fictional alter ego of Joyce. James Joyce was born in Dublin, Ireland in 1882. He excelled as a student at the Jesuit schools Clongowes and Belvedere, and then at University College Dublin, where he studied English, French, and Italian. Joyce produced several prominent works, including: 'Ulysses', 'A Portrait of the Young Artist', 'Dubliners', and 'Finnegans Wake.
