Talk:Dubliners

Publication history
I suggest that someone who knows more than I do should add a section about the publication history of Dubliners.

This article gives dates for each of the stories. Were they published individually at those times?

The James Joyce article says that he "returned to Dublin briefly in the summer of 1912 during his years-long fight with his Dublin publisher, George Roberts, over the publication of Dubliners." Was Dubliners published in 1914 by George Roberts or someone else?

Saint Patrick's Day
Why is this book placed in the category "Saint Patrick's Day fiction"? I remember doing "The Dubliners" for "A" level English literature at school between 1983 and 1985, and I do not recall anything in the book suggesting the stories were all meant to happen on Saint Patrick's Day.

 * I don't recall any of the stories being set on St. Patrick's Day, nor does it appear in the index of any of the books I have about Dubliners. An internet search indicates that several sites recommend reading Dubliners on St. Patrick's Day because it's set in Dublin and, of Joyce's books, it's the only one that a reader can pick up for the first time and easily finish within a day. Unless somebody can explain it, I think the category should be removed. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 00:52, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

Mediate?
It has been argued that the narrators in Dubliners rarely mediate…
 * Seems an odd statement. Are you sure you don’t mean ‘meditate’? Valetude (talk) 05:28, 5 December 2018 (UTC)
