This eclectic and probing collection of essays celebrates the centenary of the first publication of stories from James Joyce's Dubliners in 1904. Since its publication in book form in 1914, Dubliners has become one of the truly definitive short-story collections in world literature. A New & Complex Sensation presents twenty fresh perspectives that explore the multiple layers and enduring power of Joyce's short fiction.
