James Joyce's disillusion with the publication of Dubliners in 1914 was the result of ten years battling with publishers, resisting their demands to remove swear words, real place names and much else, including two entire stories.

Joyce's aim was to tell the truth — to create a work of art that would reflect life in Ireland at the turn of the last century.
