TY - GEN AU - Ilaria Natali TI - The Ur-Portrait : Stephen Hero ed il processo di creazione artistica in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man SN - 978-88-8453-909-0 PY - 2008/// PB - Firenze University Press KW - Critica letteraria KW - James Joyce KW - Open Access KW - letteratura straniera KW - Letteratura N1 - Open Access N2 - A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man presents a non-linear compositional progression, characterised by continual fractures, bifurcations and revisions; the genetic dossier includes pre-compositional notes and works that were never published, such as Epiphanies, A Portrait of the Artist and Stephen Hero. The genetic analysis of this long process of writing, the documentation of which covers a period of around fourteen years, reveals not only how the Portrait was conceived and composed, but also Joyce's evolution as a writer from the very first evidence of his literary activity. This new perspective on Joyce's mode of composition opens the way to a range of potential interpretations of the individual texts, as well as methodological and theoretical insights regarding genetic criticism UR - https://www.fupress.com/redir.ashx?RetUrl=3212.pdf UR - https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/61736 ER -
