"A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" by James Joyce

The “Shakespeare and Company Project” conducts a discussion of Joyce's first novel as part of a series of explorations of titles frequently borrowed from Shakespeare and Company in Paris.

Shakespeare and Company, an English-language bookshop and lending library in Paris, was opened by American Sylvia Beach in 1919. The shop became the home away from home for a community of expatriate writers and artists now known as the Lost Generation.

The book is freely accessible here.

Presented in partnership with Princeton Public Library.
