We are currently researching the following items in preparation for A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man:
Charles Parnell
James Joyce
Ireland during Joyce's lifetime
The Catholic Church in Ireland
The Jesuits
Stream of Consciousness
Aesthetics
Bildungsroman
Dedalus myth
St. Stephen
St. Thomas Aquinas
We will begin reading the novel over the weekend along with a written assignment. Students should have a good understanding of each of these topics before they begin reading. We will continue analyzing poetry while reading Joyce.
