With an Introduction and Notes by Dr.
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 stultif.
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.
