James Joyce's disillusion with the publication of Dubliners in 1914 was the result of ten years battling with publishers resisting their demands to remove swear words real place names and much else including two entire stories. Although only 24 when he signed his first publishing contract for the book Joyce already knew its worth: to alter it in any way would 'retard the course of civilisation in Ireland'. Joyce's aim was to tell the truth - to create a work of art that would reflect life in Ireland at the turn of the last century and by rejecting euphemism reveal to the Irish the unromantic reality the recognition of which would lead to the spiritual liberation of the country. Each of the fifteen stories offers a glimpse of the lives of ordinary Dubliners - a death an encounter an opportunity not taken a memory rekindled - and collectively they paint a portrait of a nation."

1916ref. 140946344New York: B. W. Huebsch 1916. First Edition. Near Fine/Near Fine. First American edition utilizing English sheets first printing of James Joyce's first prose work--a collection of short stories all unified by a common place depicting Irish middle class. The stories were written while Irish Nationalism was at its peak and the search for a national identity was raging. The country was at a cultural crossroads which Joyce felt was responsible for a collective paralysis. He conceived of Dubliners as a "nicely polished looking-glass"held up to the Irish and a "first step towards their spiritual liberation." Bound in publisher's blue-green cloth stamped in green; one of 504 sets of sheets which were imported by Huebsch from the British publisher Grant Richards. Title page is a cancel printed on laid paper with "Utopian" watermark. 278pp. Near Fine textblock edge lightly dust-soiled and with a faint stain to the bottom edge pages tanned. In the incredibly rare original dust jacket Near Fine tanned and lightly edge worn with several short closed tears several droplet stains to spine panel with chipping to ends lightly rubbed.

Original dark red cloth gilt stamped lettering on the spine and front cover some light fading to spine with slightest rubbing along top edge front cover with some bubbling; marks to endpapers from former protective cover bookplate on front pastedown slight cracking to text block at p. 144. First edition one of 746 bound for Richards 1250 copies printed. 278 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. The rocky publishing history of Dubliners is well documented: finished in 1905 it was rejected by 15 publishers before Grant Richards accepted it. Richards' printers refused to set some of the type - inaugurating Joyce's lifelong struggle with censorship - and Joyce refused most of Richards' changes. It was then taken up by Maunsel & Roberts of Dublin who eventually came to a similar conclusion. Maunsel even burned all but one of the copies of the sheets which Joyce managed to wheedle out of him and it was given back to Richards who set the type from the lone Maunsel sheet saved from the flames. Joyce subsequently added "A Little Cloud" and "The Dead" - possibly his most famous single story - to the collection. Slocum and Cahoon A8 Grant Richards Ltd unknown books

Dust jacket rubbed and a bit foxed with just a few short tears to the rear panel. Overall a very appealing copy of Joyce's only play. Exiles captures the romantic dramas of Richard and Bertha a common-law couple recently returned to their home country of Ireland and the complex dynamics that play out between them Richard's cousin Robert and Robert's wife Beatrice. "The play was not especially popular at the time and is commonly regarded as one of Joyce's weaker works. However much of the initial criticism may have had to do with the play's provocative themes: unconventional relationships jealousy weakened national ties to Ireland and exile. All of these topics resonate with Joyce's personal life making Exiles a partly autobiographical work" James Joyce Foundation. After W.B. Yeats refused to stage the play Joyce unsuccessfully attempted to interest theatrical companies throughout England Ireland and the United States. Exiles eventually debuted in German translation in Munich in 1919. Of the premiere Joyce wrote: "Complete fiasco. Row in theatre. Play withdrawn. Author invited but not present.Thank God" Morgan Library. The play was not performed in English until a staging at New York's Neighborhood Playhouse in 1925. Slocum & Cahoon 15.
