A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is the first novel of Irish writer James Joyce. An artist's novel in a modernist style 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 and Finnegans Wake. A Portrait began life in 1903 as Stephen Hero—a projected 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. James Joyce (1882-1941) was an Irish novelist and poet, considered to be one of the most influential writers in the modernist avant-garde of the early 20th century. Joyce is best known for Ulysses, a landmark work in which the episodes of Homer's Odyssey are paralleled in an array of contrasting literary styles, perhaps most prominent among these the stream of consciousness technique he utilized.

Lang: The Sentence That Makes Stephen Dedalus Smash the Lamp The Sentence That Makes Stephen Dedalus Smash the Lamp by FREDERICK K. LANG N Earthly Powers, among the finishing touches Anthony Burgess puts I to his caricature of Joyce at middle age, we find a trace of an earlier portrait of the artist. Hearing thunder, Burgess's "Poor fearful Joyce" reverts to prayer: "0 blessed Sacred Heart of Jesus keep us from harm."1 In the "Circe" episode of Ulysses, Stephen Dedalus, "Choking withfright, remorse and horror," confronts his dead mother. 2 "0 Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on him!" moans the apparition: "Save him from hell, o divine Sacred Heart!" (U 582). The prayer recited by Burgess's Joyce in 1923 and that recited to Joyce's Stephen in 1904 both resemble the invocations in "The Litany of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus,"3 which is contained in numerous prayerbooks and religious manuals, including Devotions to the Sacred Heart ofJesus, published in Dublin. 4 What makes this particular work significant is that, two pages before the Litany of the Sacred Heart, we discover the origin of the sentence which accounts for Stephen's famous assault upon the brothel chandelier, the sentence which leaves him "Translating his spiritual into physical rebellion."5 Preceding the Litany is "An Act of Reparation"- "For the innumerable Irreverences and grievous Offences, by which we and others have insulted the Heart ofJesus" (Dev 304-06).

    Ulysses in Paradise: Joyce’s Dialogues with Milton by RENATA D. MEINTS ADAIL A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY English Studies School of English, Drama, American & Canadian Studies College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham October 2018 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This thesis considers the imbrications created by James Joyce in his writing with the work of John Milton, through allusions, references and verbal echoes. These imbrications are analysed in light of the concept of ‘presence’, based on theories of intertextuality variously proposed by John Shawcross, Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht, and Eelco Runia. My analysis also deploys Gumbrecht’s concept of stimmung in order to explain how Joyce incorporates a Miltonic ‘atmosphere’ that pervades and enriches his characters and plot. By using a chronological approach, I show the subtlety of Milton’s presence in Joyce’s writing and Joyce’s strategy of weaving it into the ‘fabric’ of his works, from slight verbal echoes in Joyce’s early collection of poems, Chamber Music, to a culminating mass of Miltonic references and allusions in the multilingual Finnegans Wake.

  • 99 Stephen Hero: an Outline Commentary Stephen Hero Was The
    99 Stephen Hero: An Outline Commentary Stephen Hero was the earlier form of what became A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. It is frequently wordy and stilted but amazingly vital and merits independent study both for its intrinsic value and for the light that it provides us for the later works. The work is a fragment and is divided into two parts. The first part, recently discovered comparatively speaking, concerns young Stephen’s trip to and stay in Mullingar where he visits his godfather and patron. It ends on page 505. The larger fragment begins with page 519. This is not a large gap but it is sufficient to make the connection between the two parts complete so that they can be considered independently. The Mullingar fragment opens with an invocation, the relation of which to what follows is obscure. From what survives it appears to be an expression of the lure of Europe for Stephen but it may also be about that and about the demands of nationalism. Stephen in this book is Stephen Daedalus, the name chosen for the original (and rejected) sketch that formed the basis for both Stephen Hero and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. In the latter work Joyce changed the name to Dedalus. He travels by train to Mullingar and the distance is fifty miles from Broadstone, one of the four train terminals of Dublin. (It’s the only one no longer in service.) Stephen compares his body odor to that of the peasants. He has a strong, if somewhat irrational, preference for his own.

Zoller, Committee Chair We have read this Thesis and recommend its acceptance: ____________________________________ Christopher K. Brooks, Committee Member ____________________________________ Wilson Baldridge, Committee Member ii The Roman Catholic Church was an important and prominent aspect of Irish life in the early twentieth century. Where most of Western Europe had become secularized during the nineteenth century, Ireland remained steadfast in its faith, be it Roman Catholic or Protestant. However, at the time, more than ninety percent of the Irish population was Roman Catholic with the numbers of Protestants belonging to the Church of Ireland or Presbyterian and Methodist Churches falling from eight percent in the second half of the nineteenth century to less than three percent in 1981 (Inglis 63). As a result of the growth of the Roman Catholic Church, much of Irish politics and society was infused with starkly Catholic tones—so much that individual citizens and the nation as a whole began to understand their inherent identity through their association with the Roman Catholic faith (59).

  • James Joyce and Modern Animals: Reconstruction of Dublin's Denizens
    James Joyce and Modern Animals: Reconstruction of Dublin’s Denizens by Yoshimi Minamitani a dissertation submitted to the faculty of Hitotsubashi University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate School of Language and Society Hitotsubashi University, Japan 27 February 2019 [Author]: Yoshimi Minamitani （南谷 奉良） [Title]: James Joyce and Modern Animals: Reconstruction of Dublin’s Denizens モダン・アニマルズ (「ジェイムズ・ジョイスと 近代的動物 —人間ならざるものたちの街) * * * [Abstract] As a critical response to the burgeoning new interdisciplinary field of Animal Studies, this dissertation is an attempt to reconsider the major works (Stephen Hero, Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Ulysses) by an Irish writer, James Joyce (1882-1941). By shedding light on the hitherto unexplored reality of animals as well as animal by-products and nonhuman actors mentioned in his text, this dissertation takes up specific themes that were of major concern in the Victorian and Edwardian Age. By the term modern animals, I refer to animals that are rendered inconspicuous by forces in modern society that try to control their behavior or appropriate their strength, commercial appeal, and biological traits. This examination aims at opening up the myriad realities and perspectives surrounding the nonhuman denizens of Dublin. Chapter I first addresses Joyce’s line in the novel Stephen Hero: “The modern spirit is vivisective. Vivisection itself is the most modern process one can conceive.” The discussion begins by exploring the genealogy of the “dissection metaphor,” from Gustave Flaubert’s “medical realism” (Lawrence Rothfiled) to Émile Zola’s “putrid” naturalism, and then observes how their dissective “scalpel-pen” is forged anew into a vivisecting one through the character of Stephen D(a)edalus.

  • A Lexicographical Study of James Joyce And
    DICTIONARY JOYCE: A LEXICOGRAPHICAL STUDY OF JAMES JOYCE AND THE OXFORD ENGLISH DICTIONARY by Natasha Rose Chenier B.A., Concordia University, 2013 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (English) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) December 2014 © Natasha Rose Chenier, 2014 ii Abstract The similarities between James Joyce’s Ulysses and the Oxford English Dictionary are numerous and striking: both texts aim to encapsulate the meaning of nearly everything in the English- speaking world. Both are epic in scope to an unprecedented degree. Both make countless references to other works, and explicitly absorb much of the preceding literature. Both aim to set new creative and intellectual standards. Of course politically, the works are vastly different. Due to the pervasive opinions of the time, to which language scholars were not immune, the OED’s scope was limited to what was considered reputable literary language. While the OED aimed to document the (morally acceptable) established lexis, Joyce aimed to challenge and redefine it; he broke with tradition in frequently using loan words, as well as radically re-defining many of the standard words he used. He also invented entirely new ones. Moreover, he used English words to describe taboo subject matter, which is why the text was effectively banned from most of the English-speaking world until the mid-1930s. Joyce’s liberalism with language and subject matter excluded him from the OED for several decades. Despite their differences, Chapter One of this thesis aims to suggest that the writing of Ulysses was in many ways inspired and assisted by the OED.

  • A Psychoanalytical-Feminist Perspective of Selected Works From
    Auburn University at Montgomery The Delayed Flight of an Artist: A Psychoanalytical-Feminist Perspective of Selected Works from James Joyce Prospectus Primary Reader: Dr. Kelley Secondary Reader: Dr. Willis 24 October 2010 2 The Delayed Flight of an Artist: A Psychoanalytical-Feminist Perspective of Selected Works from James Joyce In the early twentieth century, the Modernist genre grew to encompass literary techniques involving structural order, discontinued time, suspended space, complex psyches, and stream of consciousness language. All of these factors are very prevalent in the works of James Joyce, an author deemed the “Father” of Modernism. Of course, Joyce is as much a part of his works as the works are a part of him. Dubliners (1914), Stephen Hero (1904-1906), and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916) are works that show Joyce workshopping his characters as well as his aesthetic theory. With each work, Joyce begins to understand himself as an artist, and his works portray the development of his characters, especially Stephen Daedalus, Joyce’s literary alter-ego. Furthermore, these three works depict characters who are paralyzed, or controlled, by their Irish-Catholic environment, and these characters need to “fly by those nets” of Catholicism, country, and family—all of which bind them to a passionless, paralyzed existence (Portrait 220). With each work, Joyce grows closer to his literary doppelganger and realizes that the only way to be a free artist is to take flight. Therefore, Joyce writes in the Bildungsroman tradition in his autobiographical novel Portrait, and in order to become an artist, Stephen (and Joyce) must reject three women: Mother Mary, Mother Ireland, and his own mother.
