A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
By:
- Synopsis
-
Set in Joyce's native Ireland, the story follows life of a young man Stephen and his transformation from child to artist.
In five chapters, we are taken through Stephen's early childhood in Ireland and confinement at boarding school, his dalliances with theatre and hiring prostitutes, his retreat from sensory excess into religious devotion, his retreat from religious devotion into aesthetic, ascetic excess, and, ultimately, his retreat from Ireland and fellowship in favour of destiny.
