Dubliners is the finest collection of short stories in the english language. The book was revolutionary in its time and has been a model for all its successors. In the decades since its first publication, it has lost none of its power or influence. The fifteen stories that make up Dubliners portray the Irish capital in the early years of the twentieth century with unrelenting documentary realism. Joyce revolutionized the presentation of the everyday and the ordinary in literature. These stories - with their lack of obvious contrivance, their understatement and their precise observation of people and speech - are almost painfully realistic. There are no great operatic dramas here. Instead Joyce presents a series of 'epiphanies', moments of powerful self-revelation in the lives of ordinary, unheroic people. This emphasis on the interior lives of his protagonists is Joyce's most characteristic quality, later brought to mature triumph in Ulysses. Indeed, Dubliners anticipates some of the themes of the later work, as well as some of its characters. It stands on its own, however, as a masterpiece of economy, style and characterization. This new edition is illustrated with contemporary photographs of the people and city of Dublin, and the significant influence Joyce's work has on the short story in the English language is explored in an introduction by Joseph McMinn, of the University of Ulster.
