This group of fifteen brief narratives connected by a place and a
time, the city of Dublin at the beginning of the twentieth century,
was written when James Joyce was a precocious young graduate of
University College. With great subtlety and artistic restraint,
Joyce suggests what lies beneath the pieties of Dublin society and
its surface drive for respectability, suggesting the difficulties
and despairs that were being endured on a daily basis in homes,
pubs, streets, and offices of the city: underemployment, domestic
violence, alcoholism, poverty, hunger, emotional and sexual
repression. No writer ever took more seriously the details,
history, and culture of a particular place than Joyce did with his
home city, and these stories combine dark humor with compassion and
a searching eye for the causes of suffering. This new edition's
historical appendices include contemporary reviews (including one
by Ezra Pound) and materials on religion, the struggle for Irish
independence, and Dublin's musical and performance culture.
