Dubliners is the short story collection for which James Joyce is well-known (along with A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Ulysses, and Finnegans Wake).
Dubliners
James Joyce--by turns educator, drunkard, confidence man and genius--brought out Dubliners in 1914, nine or ten years after most of the fifteen stories that comprise the book had already been written. Read more about Dubliners, in this revew by John Thornton.
Crafting A Dawn By Dramatizing The Dark
"In 'Two Gallants,' the sixth short story in the Dubliners collection, James Joyce is especially careful and crafty in his opening paragraph. Even the most cursory of readings exposes repetition, alliteration, and a clear structure within just these nine lines."
ENGLISH 360: MODERN IRISH LITERATURE
This course is a survey of Irish Literature from 1800 to the present. After some attention to medieval and later periods, the course takes up the new national literature of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Forging The Conscience Of His Race
"The encounter with experience seems a deeply personal goal, while the forging of the conscience of the race has important political implications. Stephen links the personal and political goals by claiming that the forging will take place in the smithy of his soul."
James Joyce - "Sisters"
"Listen to an MP3 recording of Frank McCourt reading the complete story 'Sisters' from 'Dubliners,' brought to you in cooperation with HarperAudio. This MP3 is available for the first time on the web and only at MP3Lit.com."
