Description: "This edition of Joyce's classic novel presents the 1964 text, newly corrected by Chester G. Anderson, along with five critical essays - newly commissioned or revised for a student audience - that read A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man from five contemporary critical perspectives: Psychoanalytic Criticism by Sheldon Brivic, Reader-Response Criticism by Norman N. Holland, Feminist Criticism by Suzette Henke, Deconstruction by Cheryl Herr, and The New Historicism by R. B. Kershner." "Each critical essay is accompanied by a succinct introduction to the history, principles, and practice of the critical perspective, and a bibliography that promotes further exploration of that approach." "The text and essays are further complemented by an introduction providing biographical and historical contexts to Joyce and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, a survey of critical responses to the novel since its initial publication, and a glossary of critical and theoretical terms."--BOOK JACKET.
