Critically acclaimed author James Joyceâs Dubliners is a collection of short stories depicting middle-class life in Dublin in the early twentieth century. First published in 1914, the stories draw on themes relevant to the time such as nationalism and Irelandâs national identity, and cement Joyceâs reputation for brutally honest and revealing depictions of everyday Irish life.
