Description

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is a vivid portrayal of emotional and intellectual development, written in a playful and experimental style. This novel follows the protagonist's quest for identity through art and his gradual emancipation from the claims of family, religion, and society.

Edited with an introduction and notes by Seamus Deane, this Penguin Modern Classics edition offers a unique insight into the life and childhood of the author, James Joyce. The novel is also a universal testament to the artist's 'eternal imagination', exploring themes of sexual awakening, religious rebellion, and the search for voice and meaning that every artist must face.

Published in 2000, this edition features 384 pages and a paperback binding. If you enjoyed this novel, you may also like Joyce's Dubliners, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.
