Summary

These vivid, tightly focused observations about the life of Dublin's poorer  classes originally made publishers uneasy: the stories contain unconventional  themes and coarse language, and they mention actual people and places. Today,  however, the stories are admired. They are considered to be masterful  representations of Dublin done with economy and grace-representations, as Joyce  himself once explained, of a chapter in the moral history of Ireland that give  the Irish a good look at themselves. Although written for the Irish  specifically, these stories-from the opening tale The Sisters to the final  masterpiece The Dead-focus on moments of revelation that are common to all  people.
