About This Item
Barnes & Noble, 1999, 1999. Paperback. Near Fine/Unknown. Octavo, softcover, near fine in black and gold pictorial wraps. 192 pp. A masterful collection of 15 stories including the classic "The Dead" delineating the details of Catholic, middle-class Dublin life. Stories follow the arc of a lifetime, the early tales reflecting concerns of childhood and adolescence, then adulthood and middle age, the the final depict lives of Dublin inhabitants within the narrow boundaries prescribed by Irish Catholicism. Book was heavily criticized by Dublin residents; they were horrified that Joyce had named several actual persons in his scandalous work. Nevertheless Joyce is one of Ireland's most celebrated authors.
Synopsis
Dubliners is a collection of 15 short stories by James Joyce, first published in 1914. The fifteen stories were meant to be a naturalistic depiction of the Irish middle class life in and around Dublin in the early years of the 20th century. The stories were written at the time when Irish nationalism was at its peak, and a search for a national identity and purpose was raging; at a crossroads of history and culture, Ireland was jolted by various converging ideas and influences.
