Abstract:
It is somewhat ironic to note that, for the most part, Joycean criticism to date has taken for granted
the very idea underlying all of Joyce’s works, namely, the concept of youth. Up to Ulysses, Joyce
has treated this theme constantly yet relatively little has been written on the fact that at one point of
his life Joyce was indeed a young man. Starting from the premise that Joyce is Stephen Dedalus, the
thesis is advanced that the early Joyce reaches maturity with the writing of Exiles. Seeing himself in
this reflection, Joyce is ready to undertake a new direction in his fiction – no longer defined by the
image of the “young man”.
