Dubliners (1914)
１．作品制作の意図
* Letter to Grant Richards, 5 May 1906
My intention was to write a chapter of the moral history of my country and I chose
Dublin for the scene because that city seemed to me the center of paralysis. I
have tried to present it to the indifferent public under four of its aspects:
childhood, adolescence, maturity and public life. The stories are arranged in this
order.
Childhood: The Sisters, An Encounter, Araby
Adolescence: Eveline, After the Race, Two Gallants, The Boarding House
Maturity: A Little Cloud, Counterparts, Clay, A Painful Case
Public Life: Ivy Day in the Committee Room, A Mother, Grace
