‎A PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST AS A YOUNG MAN‎

‎New York: B. W. Huebsch 1916. Medium blue cloth lettered in gilt and blind. Top edge slightly dust darkened trivial rubbing at crown and toe of spine but a very near fine copy in a fragment of the very scarce printed dust jacket. First edition. Although serialized in 25 installments in THE EGOIST from Feb. 1914 to Sept. 1915 British printers and publishers then still reeling from the suppression of Lawrence's THE RAINBOW were unreceptive in their responses to Joyce's efforts toward publication in book form. Based in part on Harriet Weaver's guarantee of 750 sets of sheets for the slightly later Egoist Press issue Huebsch took on the novel for December publication. The size of the first printing may have been reasonably conservative and a second printing was called for in April 1917. The printed dust jacket for this book is rather scarce; the present fragment consists of the rear flap blank the rear panel an advert for the Huebsch edition of THE PRUSSIAN OFFICER - wanting two significant chips in the blank area and a portion of the spine with "AR / AS / YOUNG MAN / JOYCE / $1.50 net" intact. " . the Portrait can be read as either an autobiography or a novel. 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. SLOCUM & CAHOON A11.

‎London: Faber & Faber 1930. First edition third impression of the centerpiece and segment of Finnegans Wake. Octavo original wrappers. Very good in a very good dust jacket. Responding to critics who accused him of writing off the cuff Joyce claimed to have spent 1200 hours composing this integral part of his Work in Progress later published as Finnegans Wake. He incorporated nearly 350 river names into the text and wrought perhaps the most lyrical of his published works. "He was prepared he said 'to stake everything' on this section of his book."
