Keri Walsh's Broadview edition of <em>Dubliners</em> will deepen and enliven any reader's experience of Joyce's book. Included here are extensive appendices of primary materials that contextualize Joyce's fictional world in terms of Ireland's social, cultural, religious, and economic history, and in terms of the book's troubled publication history, its early reception, and its place in literary history. Walsh's introductory essay lays out the stakes of Joyce's fraught relationship with Dublin and its denizens with clarity, concision, wit, and readability. Nowhere else have I read Joyce's early life and work so essentially distilled, and rarely have I read <em>Dubliners</em> so artfully described. I expect Walsh's Broadview edition of <em>Dubliners</em> to be around for a long time to come. -- <strong>Michael Rubenstein, Stony Brook University</strong> </p> Keri Walsh, as we already know from her collection of Sylvia Beach's letters, is an archivist who blends the conscience of an ethnographer with the touch of a lover. She has achieved something genuinely exhilarating in this edition of Dubliners -- transformed us into Joyce's contemporaries while simultaneously renewing the book as a contemporary text, richly teachable and learnable, for twenty-first century readers, students, and scholars. -- <strong>Saikat Majumdar, author of <em>Prose of the World: Modernism and the Banality of Empire</em> </strong> </p>
