Internally free of any writing or bookplates. Lacking the scarce original dust jacket. Overall a solid copy of the author's first novel. Slocum & Cahoon A11. A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is Joyce's second book and first novel. With the assistance of Ezra Pound the semi-autobiographical text was first published serially in twenty-one monthly installments in the British literary magazine The Egoist from February 1914-September 1915. Readers' critical reactions and fear of obscenity laws led many British publishers to initially reject publication and it was first published in book form in America in 1916. The book which is a virtual rewrite of his abandoned novel Stephen Hero tells the story of the young artist Stephen Daedalus Joyce's fictionalized alter ego. The name alludes to both the Christian martyr Saint Stephen and the Greek mythological inventor Daedalus. A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is a Künstlerroman a subset of the bildungsroman genre. The novel is written in Joyce's characteristic style of free indirect speech; Joyce's writing style matures along with Daedalus' own consciousness so that the sophistication of the narrator's voice mirrors the protagonist's level of awareness.

1916152253New York: B.W. Huebsch 1916. First American edition of Joyce’s classic stream-of-consciousness work his first novel. Octavo original publisher's blue cloth titles stamped in blind to the front panel. In very good condition. Housed in a custom hand-painted board slipcase in good condition. A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man New York 1916; London 1917 is the first novel of James Joyce 1882-1941 and one of the foundational texts of literary modernism a semi-autobiographical Bildungsroman tracing the intellectual spiritual and artistic development of Stephen Dedalus from earliest childhood through his rejection of Irish Catholicism nationalism and family obligation and his determination to pursue his vocation as an artist in voluntary exile from everything that had formed him. Originally composed as the abandoned manuscript Stephen Hero beginning in 1904 the novel was radically reconceived and rewritten in the stream of consciousness technique that would define Joyce's mature style serialized in Harriet Shaw Weaver's literary journal The Egoist from February 1914 to September 1915 before appearing in book form with its American publication by B.W. Huebsch preceding the British Egoist Press edition. The epitome of the modernist Bildungsroman the novel was controversial from the moment of its publication with contemporary readers finding its treatment of the minutiae of daily life indecorous and its central character unappealing while Ezra Pound accurately predicted that the book would remain a permanent part of English literature and H.G. Wells praised its originality and courage in the New Republic. It was chosen by Modern Library as one of 100 greatest novels of the twentieth century. B.W. Huebsch hardcover

19163926New York: B. W. Huebsch 1916. First edition. Very Good . A Very Good copy with minor shelfwear to extremities. Spine toned. Rear inner hinge tender but holding. Previous owner's bookplate to the front free endpaper. <br /> <br /> Joyce's first novel recounts the coming of age story of Stephen Dedalus the artistic alter-ego of Joyce himself. Stephen grows up ensconced in rigid institutions: the church school system family and national politics. Feeling trapped Stephen experiences a series of awakenings as he grows older and as a result of these awakenings Stephen rejects these traditional bulwarks of Irish culture. Instead he develops an aestheticism that will support his artistic vision. This rejection of existing communities and institutions alongside his embrace of a new aestheticism alienates Stephen from what he knows. Facing this alienation Stephen decides to leave Ireland and pursue his art abroad. <br /> <br /> A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is an important contribution to literary modernism. One aspect of this innovativeness is Joyce's use of age-appropriate syntax and vocabulary. The beginning of the novel which starts in Stephen's infancy is mostly monosyllabic nonsense. As Stephen grows older and grasps more about the world and his place in it the novel's vocabulary and syntax become correspondingly complex. Of Joyce's first novel H.G. Wells writes that "It is a mosaic of jagged fragments that does altogether render with extreme completeness the growth of a rather secretive imaginative boy in Dublin. The technique is startling but on the whole it succeeds." Very Good . B. W. Huebsch unknown
