Review `handsome new editions . . . . eminently readable, with good clear typefaces and text unencumbered by note numbers' John Banville, Irish Times 10/02/01 Dubliners is a collection of 15 short stories by James Joyce, first published in 1914. The fifteen stories were meant to be a naturalistic depiction of the Irish middle class life in and around Dublin in the early years of the 20th century. The initial stories in the collection are narrated by children as protagonists, and as the stories continue, they deal with the lives and concerns of progressively older people. This is in line with Joyce's tripartite division of the collection into childhood, adolescence and maturity. -- P.[4] of cover This is a beautifully-designed edition of James Joyce's classic DUBLINERS.
