Moocow Meets Labyrinth-Maker
An excellent edition: great introduction, popular price, strong scholarly apparatus.
Only good.
Good. Dubliners and Ulysses are both great.
Beautifully written but not for me.
While I can understand why this boo is considered a classic, it was awfully long winded for me. Pages and pages of hell fire and damnation sermons, along with more pages and pages spent musing on religion and politics. It is a coming of age novel and perhaps I would have enjoyed it more when I was younger and more tormented. It is beautifully written, but wordy.
it truly is a wonderful book, and anyone who wants to fancy them ...
One of Joyce's classic publications, and slightly more readable than "Ulysses," for those just getting into his work. The language is floral, descriptive, and at times daunting. You may find yourself re-reading multiple pages (that all describe one scene), just to remind yourself of the plot line. However, it truly is a wonderful book, and anyone who wants to fancy them self a literary aficionado should have this in their library.
The 2008 reissue isn't changed from 2000
The last time I taught the Portrait I used Oxford's excellent 2000 edition. In 2008 this was reissued with a new Standard Book Number, but so far I've found no changes in the text. The bibliography hasn't been updated, for instance, and the typo on p. 134 of the 2000 printing (where the sentence "Once a priest always a priest" comes out "Once a priest ways a priest") is still there in 2008.
But there is a change in the cover design. In 2000 this included part of Gino Severini's "Self-Portrait," but in 2008 the picture has been cut further back and it's now misidentified as "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man."
This edition is still excellent, but if you have a chance to buy the 2000 printing there's no point in spending more on the 2008 printing.
