In this largely autobiographical novel, James Joyce introduces us to the life of a middle-class Irish boy named Stephen Dedalus, who later appears as a leading character inUlysses. The story describes Stephen’s development from his early boyhood, through bullying at school and an adolescent crisis of faith—partially inspired by the famous hellfire sermon preached by Father Arnall, and partly by the guilt of his own precocious sexual adventures—to his days as a student and ultimate destiny as a poet.

“So profound and beautiful and convincing a book is part of the lasting literature of our age….In it is the promise of that new literature, new both in form and content, that will be the classics of tomorrow.” —Herbert Gorman
