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 books
20142291533Black & White Classics 2014. Soft Cover. Near Fine. Small smudge on bottom page ridge. 2014 Soft Cover. We have more books available by this author!. 136 pp. "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is the first novel of Irish writer James Joyce. A Künstlerroman in a modernist style it traces the intellectual and religio-philosophical 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 Heroâa 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. American modernist poet Ezra Pound had the novel serialised in the English literary magazine The Egoist in 1914 and 1915 and published as a book in 1916 by B. W. Huebsch of New York. The publication of A Portrait and the short story collection Dubliners 1914 earned Joyce a place at the forefront of literary modernism. Black & White Classics paperback books

1916WRCLIT69985New York: B. W. Huebsch 1916. Medium blue cloth lettered in gilt and blind. Top edge slightly dust darkened trivial rubbing at crown and toe of spine but a very near fine copy in a fragment of the very scarce printed dust jacket. First edition. Although serialized in 25 installments in THE EGOIST from Feb. 1914 to Sept. 1915 British printers and publishers then still reeling from the suppression of Lawrence's THE RAINBOW were unreceptive in their responses to Joyce's efforts toward publication in book form. Based in part on Harriet Weaver's guarantee of 750 sets of sheets for the slightly later Egoist Press issue Huebsch took on the novel for December publication. The size of the first printing may have been reasonably conservative and a second printing was called for in April 1917. The printed dust jacket for this book is rather scarce; the present fragment consists of the rear flap blank the rear panel an advert for the Huebsch edition of THE PRUSSIAN OFFICER - wanting two significant chips in the blank area and a portion of the spine with "AR / AS / YOUNG MAN / JOYCE / $1.50 net" intact. " . the Portrait can be read as either an autobiography or a novel. A landmark in sensibility the prose moves forward in complexity from the child's sensations at the beginning to the adolescent subtleties at the end" - Connolly. SLOCUM & CAHOON A11.
