About Dubliners:
In 1905, the young James Joyce, then only twenty-three years old, sent a manuscript of twelve short stories to an English publisher. ... Although the stories were powerful, revolutionary work, Dubliners was not published until 1914. The delay was due to concern about the frank sexual content (which, by todays standards, is quite mild) and some of the charged political and social issues addressed in the collection.
Dubliners is the first-born of Joyces central canon (Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Ulysses, Finnegans Wake). ... For many years, the magnificent accomplishment in Dubliners was eclipsed by Joyces experimental novels.
Dubliners is a powerful work in its own right, containing some of the most finely wrought short stories in the language.
