Author Joyce J.
Title Portret hudozhnika v junosti
Description James Joyce’s A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is a modernist novel about the coming of age of Stephen Dedalus, a young Irishman who gradually separates himself from the world of Catholic schooling and family expectations. Through his consciousness, the reader enters the texture of childhood and the fear of sin. The same inward perspective gives force to his first aesthetic discoveries and to his painful choice of an independent path. The novel is written so that the language changes together with the protagonist: the early scenes convey a child’s perception, and the later chapters become more tense and intellectual.

Joyce used free indirect speech, allowing the narrator’s voice to come very close to Stephen’s consciousness. Because of this, the novel feels like a personal history and a study of how a person learns to speak in his own voice.

James Joyce was an Irish modernist writer who changed the idea of the novel and made inner speech one of the major instruments of twentieth-century literature.
