Welcome, O life! I go
to encounter for the millionth time the reality of experience and to
forge in the smithy of my soul the uncreated conscience of my race. Autobiographical
in tone, Joyce's tale of Stephen Dedalus' journey into adulthood
explores the intellectual and moral development of an artist as he
struggles to overcome the ingrained Catholic consciousness of his
childhood -- a family life governed by Irish history, religion and
politics. Realistic and innovative in its approach, the style of writing
proved controversial upon publication in 1916 and the character of
Stephen on a quest for his identity did not appeal to readers.However,
Joyce expertly encapsulates the development of individual consciousness
and the role of the artist in society in what is considered one of his
greatest works.
