Word Index to James Joyce’s Stephen Hero. The Ridgebury Press, 1958. Folio. Pp 185. Quarter cloth wrappers, lettered in green. A very good copy.

Stephen Hero is a posthumously-published (New Directions 1944) autobiographical novel by 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.’
