This contribution discusses James Joyce’s A Portrait of the Artist as an interplay between two related but distinct forms of the modern novel: the Bildungsroman which foregrounds the individual protagonist and his or her biography and the “novel of the institution” focusing on the institutional space in which lives are formed. The novel of the institution concentrates in this case on Stephen Dedalus’s education in the Jesuit colleges, while the Bildungsroman concerns a parallel but autonomous narration in which a narrative voice and its implied processes of consciousness form themselves
