Narratives of these kinds, often linked by literary historians to the development of European romanticism, derived their particular force from the symbolic and highly politicized resonance they constructed around youth and adolescence in the age of nationalism there was an Anglo-Irish dimension to the genre in the shape of such figures as Maria Edgeworth and Percy Hetherington Fitzgerald. Most typically public school novels constructed young aristocratic or otherwise advantaged males in metaphorical relationship to cultural development, the latter usually being imagined in racial or national terms and frequently conceptualized in terms of potent antitheses across conservatism and progressivism, for example, and, most typically, the promise of national growth and development pitched against the threat of decadence and degeneration. A Portrait is a critical and modernist engagement with these forms and traditions, drawing emphatic attention to the most Anglicized product of bildungsroman culture public school literature, where, in the standard nineteenth-century form, juvenile development gained new value as a metaphor for wider social progress and political reform. The connections that this literature made between nation building and adolescence, and its later deployment of the discourses of racial fitness and national efficiency, ensured that this nowadays humble literary culture was once centrally engaged and of considerable relevance for Joyces handling of both Irish cultural nationalism and modernist innovation in A Portrait.  #=>IKcx}~R \  ȽԜh hT%OJQJh h076OJQJh h07OJQJhCh~OJQJhCh07OJQJhCh OJQJhCh076OJQJh h075OJQJh h OJQJhOJQJh h 5OJQJ>~ gd 21h:p)Y}.
