A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man James Joyce 1967 Viking Compass Edition This vintage paperback edition of James Joyce's seminal novel, "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man," is the Viking Compass Edition, tenth printing from August 1967. The text is the definitive version, corrected from the Dublin holograph by Chester G. Anderson and edited by Richard Ellmann, Joyce's biographer. The portrayal of Stephen Dedalus's Dublin childhood and youth, his quest for identity through art and his gradual emancipation from the claims of family, religion and Ireland itself, is also an oblique self-portrait of the young James Joyce and a universal testament to the artist's 'eternal imagination'.

Praised by literary critics such as H.G. Wells and Sean O'Faolain, this work remains a cornerstone of modernist literature.
