Joyce, aged 2

Joyces father, John Joyce, by Patrick Tuohy

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is a semi-autobiographical novel, first serialised in the magazine The Egoist from 1914 to 1915, and published in book format in 1916. The story describes the formative years of the life of Stephen Dedalus, a fictional alter ego of Joyce and an allusion to the consummate craftsman of Greek mythology, Daedalus. The novel is written in Joyces characteristic free indirect speech style, and has had a major influence on novelists across the world, and the novel is now ranked by some critics as being one of the greatest English-language novels of the 20th century.

7 St. Peters Terrace, Dublin the family home of Joyce from 1902 till 1904

O NCE UPON A time and a very good time it was there was a moocow coming down along the road and this moocow that was coming down along the road met a nicens little boy named baby tuckoo...

His father told him that story: his father looked at him through a glass: he had a hairy face.

He was baby tuckoo. The moocow came down the road where Betty Byrne lived: she sold lemon platt.

O, the wild rose blossoms
On the little green place.

He sang that song. That was his song.

O, the green wothe botheth.

When you wet the bed first it is warm then it gets cold. His mother put on the oilsheet. That had the queer smell.

His mother had a nicer smell than his father. She played on the piano the sailors hornpipe for him to dance. He danced:

Tralala lala,
Tralala tralaladdy,
Tralala lala,
Tralala lala.

Uncle Charles and Dante clapped. They were older than his father and mother but uncle Charles was older than Dante.

Dante had two brushes in her press. The brush with the maroon velvet back was for Michael Davitt and the brush with the green velvet back was for Parnell. Dante gave him a cachou every time he brought her a piece of tissue paper.
