Dubliners, Joyce’s second work, is a collection of 15 short stories. Written during the peak of the Irish nationalist movement, the stories center on characters from the middle class of Dublin in the early 1900s. In this book, Joyce introduced the idea of an epiphany (appearing), when a character has an extreme self-revelatory moment that leaves them forever changed. The stories begin with children as narrators and slowly move through adolescence into maturity.
