In 1913 James Joyce sent the initial chapter of his novel, “A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man” to the avant-garde American poet, Ezra Pound. Pound was so impressed by the writing that he urged Joyce to have the work serialized in the London literary magazine, “The Egotist”. Joyce’s initial idea was for a 63 chapter autobiographical novel, which he later abandoned for this more condensed version of five chapters. Dispensing with strict realism and making extensive use of free indirect speech, the novel explores the principal character’s rebellion against the Irish and Catholic conventions that were so much a part of his upbringing and that ultimately culminates in his exile from his mother country. “A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man” has been named one the top 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century by the Modern Library, and along with “Ulysses” and “Dubliners”, established Joyce as one the leading voices in literary modernism.

From the Inside Flap:
Perhaps Joyce's most personal work, "A Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Man depicts the intellectual awakening of one of literature's most memorable young heroes, Stephen Dedalus. Through a series of brilliant epiphanies that parallel the development of his own aesthetic consciousness, Joyce evokes Stephen's youth, from his impressionable years as the youngest student at the Clongowed Wood school to the deep religious conflict he experiences at a day school in Dublin, and finally to his college studies where he challenges the conventions of his upbringing and his understanding of faith and intellectual freedom. James Joyce's highly autobiographical novel was first published in the United States in 1916 to immediate acclaim. Ezra Pound accurately predicted that Joyce's book would "remain a permanent part of English literature," while H.G. Wells dubbed it "by far the most important living and convincing picture that exists of an Irish Catholic upbringing." A remarkably rich study of a developing young mind, "A Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Man made an indelible mark on literature and confirmed Joyce's reputation as one of the world's greatest and lasting writers.
