A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man - is part of the Classics Revival project that is a republishing process of books, stories, novels and other classic literary pieces that are dear to my heart. Irregular and personal - this ongoing project is also a never-ending exersice in micro-typography. In this edition I have used Godfrey Roman and Godfrey Italic fonts, designed by me earlier the same year.
‘The portrayal of Stephen Dedalus's Dublin childhood and youth, his quest for identity through art and his gradual emancipation from the claims of family, religion and Ireland itself, is also an oblique self-portrait of the young James Joyce and a universal testament to the artist's 'eternal imagination'. Both an insight into Joyce's life and childhood, and a unique work of modernist fiction, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is a novel of sexual awakening, religious rebellion and the essential search for voice and meaning that every nascent artist must face in order to fully come into themselves.’ (Goodreads)
