Dubliners is a collection of 15 short stories by James Joyce, first published in 1914. The stories comprise a naturalistic depiction of Irish middle-class life in and around Dublin in the early years of the 20th century.

This analysis is followed by an account of how and why Sophoclean dramas have survived to be read and widely performed into the twenty-first century.
