Dubliners. Wordsworth Classics

Dubliners. Wordsworth Classics - Joyce James

In these stories Joyce returns, again and again, to Dublin, the city he kept writing about while living abroad. The collection moves through ordinary lives and public roles, showing a society marked by compromise, habit and the effort to get by.

A cross section of the city

Truants, seducers, gossips, generous hostesses, corrupt politicians, failing priests, amateur theologians, struggling musicians, sentimental aunts, poets, patriots and victims of domestic brutishness all appear here. Together they form a broad portrait of Dublin rather than one continuous plot.

Joyce's view of Ireland

Joyce writes as an international figure who remains faithful to his own country by looking at it without flinching. The book challenges precedent and piety in Irish literature through that direct, unsparing attention.
