James Plunkett bol írsky spisovateľ známy svojím realistickým zobrazením života robotníckej triedy v Dubline. Jeho diela sa často zaoberajú témami sociálnej nespravodlivosti, chudoby a ľudskej odolnosti tvárou v tvár nepriazni osudu. Plunkett bol majstrom v zachytení autentického jazyka a atmosféry dublinských ulíc a jeho príbehy sú plné silných postáv a dojemných momentov. Jeho literárny prínos spočíva v úprimnom a empatickom pohľade na život obyčajných ľudí.
