‎Ulysses: The Mechanics of Meaning.‎

‎Englewood Cliffs NJ: Prentice-Hall Inc. 1970. The acclaimed commentary on Ulysses inscribed to Joyce's disciple and amanuensis First edition first impression inscribed by the author to Samuel Beckett who had been Joyce's amanuensis during the writing of Finnegans Wake on the front free endpaper "For Sam Beckett from whose first letter to me I quote: '.in Joyce the form of judgement more and more devoured its gist and the saying of all the saying of anything in a way more consistent with Bruno's identification of contraries than with the intellectualism of Mallarmé.' Is the present position mine more to your liking It is of course a blend. Warmly David Sept '70. P.S. I hope yr eyes permit you to read this". In a significant letter to James Knowlson Beckett wrote of the powerful "influence ab contrario" Joyce had on him as a writer: "I realized that Joyce had gone as far as one could in the direction of knowing more in control of one's material. He was always adding to it; you only have to look at his proofs to see that. I realised that my own way was impoverishment in lack of knowledge and in taking away subtracting rather than adding. When I first met Joyce I didn't intend to be a writer. That only came later when I found out that I was no good at all at teaching. When I found I simply couldn't teach. But I do remember speaking about Joyce's heroic achievement. I had a great admiration for him. That's what it was: epic heroic what he achieved. I realized that I couldn't go down that same road." David Hayman is a literary critic and professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison who participated in the publication of Joyce's complete manuscripts and has also written a number of essays on Beckett's works.

This copy later passed into the theatre collection of Clive Hirschhorn b. 1940 who spent decades as the Sunday Express's film and theatre critic and whose various histories of Hollywood include The Warner Bros.

Top edge a little dusty a little very faint toning and a few pencilled booksellers' notes to ffep rear pastedown not properly glued down resulting in a little cockling at the hinge very good indeed.

First came En Attendant Godot Beckett's initial subtly different French-language version. It was published by Les Éditions de Minuit in Paris in 1952 in advance of the first theatrical performance with only 2500 copies being printed. Next the first English-language edition was published in New York by the Grove Press in 1954 ahead of the its debut performance at the Arts Theatre London on 3rd August 1955. The Faber edition of 1956 here marks the first publication of the play in the UK and contains the censored text as performed in a slightly later production at the Criterion Theatre.
