The document provides an overview and analysis of James Joyce's works Dubliners and Ulysses. It summarizes that Dubliners portrays a "paralysed city" enslaved politically by the English, spiritually by the church, and emotionally by family and conventions. Ulysses shows how patriotic rhetoric masks intolerance and selfishness. Both books create an Irish national conscience by showing reality. Joyce's works are modernist as he meticulously collects and analyzes thoughts and impressions caused by outer events in his characters' inner worlds. His stories open in medias res and portray characters through introspection rather than description, with time perceived subjectively.
