A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man ~ James Joyce

I recently  picked  up Ulysses and felt like I probably should read  A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man before fully jumping into Ulysses. My experience with Joyce before this novel was his short story “The Dead” from his collection The Dubliners.

However, many recent scholars disagree with Sullivan’s claims about the “land as a source of human salvation.” In her book Reading the World: Cormac McCarthy’s Tennessee Period, Dianne Luce states that, “[i]t is a mistake either to confuse East Tennessee with the plantation South or to label McCarthy a latter-day Agrarian” (271). In making this comment, she also argues that The Orchard Keeper can be read “in the context of the classic Southern Agrar
