SynopsisJoyce's aim was to tell the truth--to create a work of art that would reflect life in Ireland at the turn of the last century and, by rejecting euphemism, reveal to the Irish the unromantic reality of their existence, the recognition of which would lead to the spiritual liberation of the country. Each of the fifteen stories offers a glimpse of the lives of ordinary Dubliners--a death, an encounter, an opportunity not taken, a memory rekindled--and collectively they paint a portrait of a nation. This edition is introduced and annotated by Jeri Johnson, who gives a witty and informative insight into the context, meanings, and reception of Joyce's work., The publication of James Joyce's Dubliners in 1914 was the result of ten years battling with publishers, resisting their demands to remove swear words, real place names and much else. Although only twenty-four when he signed his first publishing contract for the book, Joyce already knew its worth: to alter it in any way would "retard the course of civilization in Ireland."
