Stephen Hero is a posthumously-published autobiographical novel by Irish author James Joyce. Its published form reflects only a portion of an original manuscript, part of which was lost. Many of its ideas were used in composing A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.

Background

Work on Stephen Hero probably began in Dublin in 1903.[1] According to Derek Attridge, it was to be "a thinly disguised autobiography, stylistically undistinguished and immensely long."[1]

Joyce abandoned the work in Trieste in 1905.[1]
