Stephen Hero

Stephen Hero is a posthumously-published autobiographical novel by Irish author James Joyce. Its published form reflects only a portion of an original manuscript, part of which was lost. Many of its ideas were used in composing A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.

Background

Work on Stephen Hero probably began in Dublin in 1903.[1] According to Derek Attridge, it was to be "a thinly disguised autobiography, stylistically undistinguished and immensely long."[1]

Joyce abandoned the work in Trieste in 1905.[1]

gollark: So what's the "issue" then, "optics"?
gollark: Maybe it would work better with a higher-res phone, who knows.
gollark: Well, it's a mildly cool but pointless thing, yes.
gollark: The last one was at someone's house, but the VR thing was some sort of "lab" environment with lots of random things in it, I don't remember much.
gollark: Google Cardboard (obviously not very high quality but at least vaguely cool), some racing game in a science museum some years back when it was still newer and shinier, and I think last year some kind of VR "lab" thing on some fancier VR setup.
