A visit to all the places that are mentioned in the Clongowes section of 'A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man' by James Joyce.
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is the first novel by Irish writer James Joyce.
The novel traces the religious and intellectual awakening of young Stephen Dedalus, a fictional alter ego of Joyce and an allusion to Daedalus, the consummate craftsman of Greek mythology. In the novel, Stephen Dedalus attends the Jesuit-run Clongowes Wood College, where the apprehensive, intellectually gifted boy suffers the ridicule of his classmates while he learns the schoolboy codes of behaviour.
