Dubliners

Author(s): James Joyce

Classics

The first products of Joyce's maturity, these stories look sideways to the tender realism of Chekhov and forward to Joyce's later work "Portrait of the Artist". In the most celebrated tale, "The Dead", the author constructs the first of his poetic monologues. In this edition are published for the first time the original versions of "Eveline", "The Sisters" and "After the Race", which, appearing beside the canonical versions, give the reader an insight into Joyce's working methods.


Product Information

James Joyce (1882-1941) was born and educated in Dublin. Although he spent most of his adult life outside Ireland, Joyce's psychological and fictional universe is firmly rooted in his native Dublin, the city which provides the settings and much of the subject matter for all his fiction. He is best known for his landmark novel Ulysses (1922) and its controversial successor Finnegans Wake (1939), as well as the short story collection Dubliners (1914) and the semi-autobiographical novel A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916).
