Selection From Dubliners New Edition 2024

A Selection from Dubliners is a collection of ten key stories of Joyce’s candid and controversial portrayal of Dublin at the start of the twentieth century. Written in a highly encoded yet unsentimental prose, Joyce exposes the grim reality of life at ‘the centre of paralysis’. Here Joyce’s keen eye for symbolic detail skilfully renders the ordinary suddenly extraordinary. Masterfully written, each story’s abrupt enigmatic ending creates an indelible impression in the reader’s mind and a desire to explore further this unique talent. - Full biographical and critical introduction - Wide choice of activities to help students analyse the text in full - Numerous footnotes - Full recording of the text - Unabridged Edition
