Opis

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serious work done on "Dubliners "as a whole, in this study Professor Torchiana draws upon a wide range of published and unpublished sources to provide a scholarly and satisfying framework for Joyce s world of the inept and the lower middle class .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. "
