《一个青年艺术家的画像》是詹姆斯·乔伊斯的自传体小说，全书分为五章，主要叙述斯蒂芬·迪达勒斯的童年、少年、青少年乃至于青年时期的各阶段成长经历，从幼年的宝贝咕咕，到小学里矮小、瘦弱的学童，到中学里作文竞赛奖的获得者，再到大学里攻读文学艺术的大学生，并认识到爱尔兰社会与他这样的艺术家格格不入，成为一名决意远离家乡，远离爱尔兰，立志要在他灵魂的作坊里打造自己民族所不曾有的良心的青年艺术家。

在斯蒂芬一步步走向成熟的过程中，家庭、性、艺术与反叛是贯穿始终的主题。对于这些主题的认识和思索在他历经的每一个阶段循环重复，在灵魂与良心、现实与理想的激烈碰撞中逐步提高、不断深化。

'Welcome, O life! I go to encounter for the millionth time the reality of experience and to forge in the smithy of my soul the uncreated conscience of my race.'

Autobiographical in tone, Joyce's tale of Stephen Dedalus' journey into adulthood explores the intellectual and moral development of an artist as he struggles to overcome the ingrained Catholic consciousness of his childhood - a family life governed by Irish history, religion and politics. Realistic and innovative in its approach, the style of writing proved controversial upon publication in 1916 and the character of Stephen on a quest for his identity did not appeal to readers.However, Joyce expertly encapsulates the development of individual consciousness and the role of the artist in society in what is considered one of his greatest works.
