Archetypal criticism has fallen out of fashion, perhaps because of its association with the highly structuralist approach of Northrop Frye. However it does have something to offer the critic. In this paper, James Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is explored from the perspective of myth, and this approach compared and contrasted with critiques of writers employing other approaches. From a re-evaluation of archetypal criticism taking into account post-modern developments, the paper explores the presence of mythic patterns in Joyce's work, and how they relate to the aesthetic theory presented therein. Before moving on to comparisons with psychoanalytical, feminist, new historicist, reader-response and deconstructionist readings of the text, the paper considers the damage done to the intellectual standing of archetypal criticism by Joseph Campbell, whose brushing aside of difference in a desire to unify human myth systems undermines so much of the 'archaeological' value of what he unearthed.
