First published in 1986. Dubliners was James Joyce's first major
publication. Setting it at the turn of the century, Joyce claims to
hold up a 'nicely polished looking-glass' to the native Irishman.
In Backgrounds for Joyce's Dubliners, the author examines the
national, mythic, religious and legendary details, which Joyce
builds up to capture a many-sided performance and timelessness in
Irish life. Acknowledging the serious work done on Dubliners as a
whole, in this study Professor Torchiana draws upon a wide range of
published and unpublished sources to provide a scholarly and
satisfying framework for Joyce's world of the 'inept and the lower
middle class'. He combines an understanding of Joyce's subtleties
with a long-standing personal knowledge of Dublin. This title will
make fascinating reading for scholars and students of Joyce's
writing as well as for those interested in early twentieth century
Irish social history.
