description: Joyce and Jung offers a provocatively original chapter-by-chapter analysis of Stephen Dedalus's psychosexual growth in James Joyce's twentieth-century classic,  A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man . Hiromi Yoshida relocates this growth within the Jungian soul-portrait gallery known as the «four stages of eroticism» in which Eve, Helen, Mary, and Sophia are collective anima projections. Throughout this dazzling lyrical analysis of poetic identity formation, the mother, the prostitute, the Virgin Mary, and the Bird-Girl are celebrated as Stephen Dedalus's anima women, who enable his achievement of cross-dressed lyric authority.
