«Dubliners» is James Joyce's collection of fifteen short stories, published by Wordsworth Editions in paperback (192 pages, in English).
The fifteen stories portray everyday life among Dublin's middle class at the beginning of the twentieth century, with characters ranging from dreamy adolescents and musicians to corrupt politicians and declining priests. They explore moral paralysis, frustration and alienation, offering a critical, naturalistic view of Irish society at the time.
Revised edition in the Wordsworth Classics series, with an introduction and notes by Laurence Davies and series editing by Keith Carabine. The work was originally published in 1914.
A classic of Irish fiction, commonly read in academic settings and by those approaching twentieth-century literary fiction.
James Augustine Aloysius Joyce was an Irish novelist, poet, and literary critic. He contributed to the modernist movement and is regarded among the most influential and important writers of the 20th century. Joyce's novel Ulysses (1922) is a landmark in which the episodes of Homer's Odyssey are paralleled in a variety of literary styles, particularly stream of consciousness. His other well-known works include the short-story collection Dubliners (1914) and the novels A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916) and Finnegans Wake (1939). His other writings include two books of poetry, a play, correspondence, and occasional journalism.
