Joyce, James
A PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST AS A YOUNG MAN - THE B.W. HUEBSCH FAMILY COPY
New York: B.W. Huebsch 1916. First Edition. Joyce's autobiographical first novel first serialized in 25 installments in The Egoist between February 2 1914 and September 1 1915 by his great patron Harriet Shaw Weaver. As for the book publication she was unsuccessful at finding an English printer willing to assume the responsibility of setting the text - seven of them refused to do it all on moral grounds. "Under English law unlike American the printing of immoral writings is as actionable as their publication" Slocum & Cahoon p.20. Weaver sent a copy of her Egoist serialization to New York bookseller Edmond Byrne Hackett who in turn contacted B.W. Huebsch who undertook the publication of Portrait just as he had for Dubliners several weeks earlier. ".on 16 June an emblematic date for Joyce Benjamin Huebsch wrote to Miss Weaver with his proposal: publication of the complete novel with sheets printed in the US going to the English publisher under joint imprints the costs being shared.He was anxious he said to see Joyce properly launched in America and Pound recommended that Huebsch's offer be accepted" Bowker Gordon. James Joyce: A New Biography p.226.<br /> <br /> Through his alter ego Stephen Dedalus Joyce "describes his spiritual journey through his Jesuit education and petty bourgeois Dublin to forge through 'silence exile and cunning' the 'uncreated conscience of his race'.A landmark in sensibility the prose moves forward in complexity from the child's sensations at the beginning to the adolescent subtleties at the end" Connolly 26. The number of copies of the first printing is unknown but a second was published in April 1917 followed by three additional printings 1918-1922 before Huebsch merged his publishing house with the Viking Press. We know of no documented presentation copies of the American edition of Portrait; the present copy likely one of a very few copies with distinguished provenance not already in institutional hands was one of Benjamin Huebsch's own retained copies left to his son Ian Oscar Huebsch then passed by inheritance to a family friend. Slocum & Cahoon 11. First Printing preceding the British edition by roughly two months. Octavo 19.25cm; blue cloth with titles stamped in gilt on spine and in blind to front cover; dustjacket; iv2991pp. Spine ends gently nudged hint of sunning to spine rear hinge starting but sound with some faint shallow staining to upper board edges; text is fresh with the gilt titling bright and unrubbed; Very Good. In the original dustjacket priced $1.50 net at mid-spine with a brief holograph note in blue grease pencil at lower front panel either in Huebsch's hand or someone at his office: "1st Ed - addtl. copy." Sunning to spine and panels old dampstain affecting spine and upper edge of front panel with shallow losses along the edges - the deepest of these affecting the "SCH" in the publisher's name at base of spine; several splits tears and attendant creases a dozen of them skillfully and nearly invisibly mended on verso; Good to Very Good. B.W. Huebsch unknown

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
New York: B. W. Huebsch 1916. First edition. Very Good. A Very Good copy with bright gilt on the spine. Shelfwear to extremities. Front inner hinge starting but holding. Some offsetting to front endpaper and early ownership signature to front pastedown. Page 16 with slight skinning affecting several lines of text. <br /> <br /> Joyce's first novel recounts the coming of age story of Stephen Dedalus the artistic alter-ego of Joyce himself. Stephen grows up ensconced in rigid institutions: the church school system family and national politics. Feeling trapped Stephen experiences a series of awakenings as he grows older and as a result of these awakenings Stephen rejects these traditional bulwarks of Irish culture. Instead he develops an aestheticism that will support his artistic vision. This rejection of existing communities and institutions alongside his embrace of a new aestheticism alienates Stephen from what he knows. Facing this alienation Stephen decides to leave Ireland and pursue his art abroad. <br /> <br /> A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is an important contribution to literary modernism. One innovation is Joyce's use of age-appropriate syntax and vocabulary. The beginning of the novel which starts in Stephen's infancy is mostly monosyllabic nonsense. As Stephen grows older and grasps more about the world and his place in it the novel's vocabulary and syntax become correspondingly complex. Of Joyce's first novel H.G. Wells writes that "It is a mosaic of jagged fragments that does altogether render with extreme completeness the growth of a rather secretive imaginative boy in Dublin. The technique is startling but on the whole it succeeds." Very Good. B. W. Huebsch unknown

Published simultaneously in paperback this hard back issue was done principally for libraries. As a consequence copies like this are very uncommon.<br /><br />'Anthony Burgess has cut down Joyce's masterpiece to its bare essentials and has provided a sort of waking commentary as well as a long and enlightening introduction. He hopes that readers of this small labour of love will be tempted to proceed to the whole big uncut book and learn to revel in its humour and homely profundity. It is one of the great works of the age as well as one of the funniest. We ignore it at or peril' blurb.<br /> London, Faber & Faber Limited, [1966]. paperback
