Though now considered a masterpiece, its delayed publication altered its public reception. The delay was due to concern about the frank sexual content (which, by today's standards, is quite mild) and some of the charged political and social issues addressed in the collection.ĭubliners is the first-born of Joyce's central canon (Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Ulysses, Finnegan's Wake). Although the stories were powerful, revolutionary work, Dubliners was not published until 1914. Delays in publishing gave Joyce ample time to add three accomplished stories over the next two years: "Two Gallants," "A Little Cloud," and "The Dead" were added later. In 1905, the young James Joyce, then only twenty-three years old, sent a manuscript of twelve short stories to an English publisher.
