Synopsis "Dubliners"

Dubliners is a collection of short stories & anthologies written by Irish literature & fiction novelist and poet James Joyce and first published in 1914. Through fifteen short stories & anthologies, James Joyce's Dubliners depicts Irish middle class life in and around Dublin in the early years of the 20th century. The Irish short stories & anthologies were written when Irish nationalism was at its peak, and a search for national identity and purpose was raging; at a crossroads of history and culture, Ireland was jolted by various converging ideas and influences. They center on James Joyce's idea of an epiphany: a moment where a character experiences a life-changing self-understanding or illumination. More than a century since the first publication of this classic literature & fiction collection of Irish short stories & anthologies, Dubliners is often required textbook reading.

James Joyce (Dublin, 1882-Zurich, 1941) was an Irish writer, globally recognized as one of the most important and influential of the 20th century, acclaimed for his masterpiece, Ulysses (1922), and for his controversial later novel, Finnegans Wake (1939). His series of short stories titled Dubliners (1914), as well as his semi-autobiographical novel A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916), have also been highly valued. Joyce is a prominent representative of the avant-garde literary movement known as Anglo-Saxon modernism, alongside authors such as T.S. Eliot, Virginia Woolf, Ezra Pound, or Wallace Stevens.
