A Ku?nstlerroman in a modernist style, it traces the religious and intellectual awakening of young Stephen Dedalus, a fictional alter ego of Joyce and an allusion to Daedalus, the consummate craftsman of Greek mythology. Stephen questions and rebels against the Catholic and Irish conventions under which he has grown, culminating in his self-exile from Ireland to Europe. The work uses techniques that Joyce developed more fully in Ulysses (1922) and Finnegans Wake (1939).A Portrait began life in 1903 as Stephen Hero--a projected 63-chapter autobiographical novel in a realistic style. After 25 chapters, Joyce abandoned Stephen Hero in 1907 and set to reworking its themes and protagonist into a condensed five-chapter novel, dispensing with strict realism and making extensive use of free indirect speech that allows the reader to peer into Stephen's developing consciousness. 606 $aBildungsromans$7Generated by AI 606 $aModernism (Literature)$7Generated by AI 615 0$aBildungsromans 615 0$aModernism (Literature) 700 $aSheba Blake$01887968 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910165225403321 996 $aA Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man$94526598 997 $aUNINA
