| Matt Simpson places James Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist
as a Young Man in the context of the Modernist movement of the
early 20th century, seeing it as a novel that takes a revolutionary
view of what constitutes 'character', and exploring the many
and various ways it may be constructed through a patterning
of significant, formative experiences. In this study, Simpson
investigates the multiple meanings of the book's central character
'Stephen Dedalus' to reveal afresh the artistic daring of James
Joyce's groundbreaking novel. |
