Dubliners' Dozen
Traditional readings of "Dubliners" have entrapped themselves in easy identifications with the narrator in the stories. Later critics have used strong overarching theories to explore the techniques through which the narrator produces these reductive effects. This study applies a different contemporary theoretical lens to each of the stories.
Dubliners
Dubliners is a renowned work of literature by Irish author James Joyce. Published in 1914, the collection consists of 15 short stories that explore the lives of characters living in and around Dublin, Ireland at the turn of the 20th century. One of the major themes of Dubliners is the idea of paralysis, both literal and figurative. In many of the stories, the characters are trapped in their circumstances, unable to break free from the limitations of their environment, social status, or personal relationships. This theme is evident in the first and last stories of the collection, "The Sisters" and "The Dead", where the main characters are physically or emotionally stuck in their current situa...
Investigating Death in Paradise
First televised in 2011, Death in Paradise remains one of the most popular shows in the U.K. The detective series is frequently ignored, panned or belittled by television critics, but viewers disagree. Bringing in more than eight million viewers a season, it is accessible in more than 235 global territories. This first book-length assessment of Death in Paradise offers a fresh take on the popular BBC drama. The book positions the show within broader contexts that illustrate its origins and timeless appeal, from the first conceptualizations of "paradise" in ancient cultures to the creation of the classic detective story in the 1920s. The detective inspectors on Death in Paradise come from a long line of fictional eccentrics who excel at finding quirky clues, seeing surprising connections and employing help from other officials and agencies. Through exploration of these narrative elements and more, the author reveals deeper themes of justice, inclusion and environmentalism.

Contents: Chamber Music Dubliners A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man Exiles Ulysses (the original 1922 ed.)

Other major works are the short-story collection Dubliners (1914), and the novels A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916) and Finnegans Wake (1939). His complete oeuvre also includes three books of poetry, a play, occasional journalism, and his published letters.
