A Portrait of the Artist as A Young Man, which ranks third among the 100 Best English-Language Novels of the 20th Century and constitutes an important part of Joyce studies, is one of the great works by James Joyce, a giant of modernist literature and master of stream-of-consciousness narration. In this novel, James Joyce employs stream-of-consciousness technique, and produces a series of free association and interior monologue in multidimensional language to present a record of the growing-up of a young artist. The remarkable significant lead-in, and the unique vision of beauty and love, predestined affinity and fight with religion, thorough harmony of form and content, and skillful use of symbolism, which pervade the entire work, incarnate James Joyce＇ s charisma as a giant of literature.
