Gender roles and sexual morality in James Joyce's 'Dubliners'

Meer over het boek

Exploring gender roles and sexual morality in James Joyce's "Dubliners," this seminar paper begins with a poignant letter from Joyce to Nora Barnacle, highlighting the harsh realities women faced in early 20th-century Dublin. The study is divided into two main parts: the first examines historical contexts, including Victorian gender roles, while the second analyzes the representation of these roles in Joyce's fifteen short stories. The aim is to determine how accurately the narratives reflect the societal dynamics of Dublin during that era.
