"Dubliners" \;was completed in 1905\, but a series of British and Irish publishers and printers found it offensi ve and immoral\, and it was suppressed. The book finally came out in Londo n in 1914\, just as Joyce's \;Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man&nb sp\;began to appear in the journal \;Egoist \;under the auspices o f Ezra Pound. The first three stories in "Dubliners" might be incidents fr om a draft of "Portrait of the Artist\," and many of the characters who fi gure in "Ulysses" have their first appearance here\, but this is not a boo k of interest only because of its relationship to Joyce's life and mature work. It is one of the greatest story collections in the English language- -an unflinching\, brilliant\, often tragic portrait of early twentieth-cen tury Dublin. The book\, which begins and ends with a death\, moves from "s tories of my childhood" through tales of public life. Its larger purpose\, Joyce said\, was as a moral history of Ireland.
