Review

handsome new editions . . . . eminently readable with good, clear typefaces and text unencumbered by note numbers --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Thought by many to be the author's own autobiography, this is the life of Stephen Dedalus -- significant memories from infancy, schooldays, family life, his first taste of sin, guilt, repentance -- and his passage to freedom as he elects to leave Ireland forever.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best edition of "A Portrait", July 9 2004
By 
Rocco Dormarunno (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Depending on one's taste and level of concentration, James Joyce's "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" is either tedious flop or a wonderful cornerstone of world literature. (I believe the latter.) I won't go into a discussion of "A Portrait" here because if you are looking at this particular Viking Critical edition, you've already committed yourself to reading it. The value of this edition lies in the critical essays and notes at the end. The notes will help the reader along, as they explain some of the terms and/or conditions that are particular to Joyce's Ireland. The essays are, each and every one, valuable tools. Whether it's an examination of Joyce's life, the creation of "A Portrait", the influences it would have, etc., every essay is a heavy-weight that enchances an understanding of the book. (At least it did for me.) If you're seriously considering reading "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" this is the edition to use.

5.0 out of 5 stars What are the rest of you reviewers talking about?, May 26 2004
By A Customer
How could James Joyce's Portrait of the Artist as A Young Man not receive a single rating of five in all of these reviews? I dare all of you to read the book again and find other words besides "dull," which it isn't, and "thick," by which you might have meant "layered," in order to describe this masterpiece I see as certainly on par with Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway.
