Joyce is concerned at all costs to reveal the flickerings of that innermost flame which flashes its myriad message through the brain, he disregards with complete courage whatever seems to him adventitious, though it be probability or coherence or any other of the handrails to which we cling for support when we set our imaginations free.” –Virginia Woolf“A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man will remain a permanent part of English literature.” –Ezra PoundWith an Introduction by Richard Brown .

With richly symbolic language and a boldly original style, this most personal of Joyce's works confirms his place as one of the world's greatest writers.. Written in a unique voice that reflects the age and emotional state of its protagonist, the novel explores questions of origin and source, authority and authorship, and the relationship of an artist to his family, culture, and race.
