Dubliners is a set of fifteen brief testimonies through James Joyce, first posted in 1914. It offers a naturalistic depiction of Irish center magnificence existence in and round Dublin inside the early years of the 20th century.

The memories were written while Irish nationalism changed into at its peak, and a look for a national identity and cause become raging; at a crossroads of history and lifestyle, Ireland became jolted via various converging thoughts and impacts. They centre on Joyce's concept of an epiphany (a second wherein a character stories a existence-converting self-knowledge or illumination) and the theme of paralysis (Joyce felt Irish nationalism stagnated cultural development, placing Dublin on the coronary heart of a regressive movement). The first 3 tales within the series are narrated by infant protagonists, while the following tales are written inside the 1/3 character and cope with the lives and issues of regularly older people, in step with Joyce's division of the collection into childhood, childhood, maturity, and public life. Many of the characters in Dubliners later seemed in minor roles in Joyce's novel Ulysses.
