In 1916 when this novel was first published it was recognized as a unique achievement in fiction. Here is what H.G. Wells said about it: "Like some of the best novels in the world it is the story of an education: it is by far the most living and convincing picture that exists of an Irish Catholic upbringing. It is a mosaic of jagged fragments that does altogether render with extreme completeness the growth of a rather secretive, imaginative boy in Dublin...One believes in Stephen Dedalus as one believes in few characters in finction."
