James Hanley (novelist) James (Joseph) Hanley (3 September 1897 – 11 November 1985) was a British novelist, short story writer, and playwright of Irish descent. He published his first novel "Drift" in 1930. The novels and short stories about seamen and their families that he wrote in the 1930s and 1940s included "Boy" (1931), the subject of an obscenity trial. Hanley came from a seafaring family and spent two years at sea himself. After World War II there was less emphasis on the sea in his works. While frequently praised by critics, Hanley's novels did not sell well. In the late 1950s, 1960s, and early 1970s he wrote plays, mainly for the BBC, for radio and then for television, and also for the theatre. He returned to the novel in the 1970s. His last novel, "A Kingdom", was published in 1978, when he was eighty.

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is the first novel by Irish writer James Joyce. A Künstlerroman in a modernist style, it 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. Stephen questions and rebels against the Catholic and Irish conventions under which he has grown, culminating in his self-exile from Ireland to Europe. The work uses techniques that Joyce developed more fully in "Ulysses" (1922) and "Finnegans Wake" (1939).
