Joyce & Jung offers a uniquely feminist poststructuralist and post-Jungian psychoanalytic analysis of Stephen Dedalus’s psychosexual growth in James Joyce’s twentieth-century classic A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. Hiromi Yoshida relocates Stephen’s growth within the Jungian soul-portrait gallery, known as the "four stages of eroticism," in which Eve, Helen, Mary, and Sophia are collective anima projections. Throughout this dazzling lyrical analysis of poetic identity formation, the mother, the prostitute, the Virgin Mary, and the Bird-Girl are celebrated as Stephen Dedalus’s ironically experienced anima women, who enable his achievement of cross-dressed lyric authority.

“Hiromi Yoshida’s innovative approach to A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man demonstrates how Joyce’s Stephen Dedalus reaches a heightened state of creativity through his gradual integration of feminine elements into his psyche. Her detailed afterword to the new edition of Joyce & Jung adds lucid insights to this important critical study.”—Nancy Bombaci, Associate Professor of Writing and Literature, Mitchell College, New London, Connecticut
