| That James Joyceâ s â The Deadâ forms an extraordinary conclusion to his collection Dubliners, there can be no doubt. But as many have pointed out, â The Deadâ may equally well be read as a novellaâ arguably, one of the finest novellas ever written. â The Dead,â a â story of public life,â as Joyce categorized it, was written more than a year after Joyce had finished the other stories in the collection, and was meant to redress what he felt was their â unnecessary harsh[ness].â Set on the feast of the epiphany, it is a haunting tale of connection and of alienation, reflecting, in the words of Stanislaus Joyce (Jamesâ s brother and confidant), â the nostalgic love of a rejected exile.â The present volume highlights â The Deadâ for readers who wish to focus on that great work in a concise volumeâ and for university courses in which it is not possible to cover all of Dubliners. But it also gives a strong sense of how that story is part of a larger whole. Stories from each of the other sections of Dubliners have been included, and a wide range of background materials is included as well, providing a vivid sense of the literary and historical context out of which the work emerged. |
