1916rif. 2940New 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. 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. 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

Contemporary owner's name and bookplate on the front endpapers some foxing to the closed text-block and to the early and late leaves. Price-clipped dust jacket with the yellow titling faded minor chips and tears mostly a the extremities and some smudges to the jacket panels. Among the most influential and complex Modernist works Finnegans Wake "blends the reality of life with a dream world. The motive of the novel inspired by the 18th century Italian philosopher Giambattista Vico is that history is cyclical.the novel's plot is nearly as complex as the linguistic tactics deployed by Joyce who combined a number of languages and utilized complex sonic implications to create an atmosphere of wordplay and hidden meaning throughout the entirety of Finnegans Wake" Britannica. A natural progression from his earlier masterpiece Ulysses Finnegans Wake shows Joyce pressing his ability to weave together numerous languages cultural mythologies and national literatures to defy boundaries and binaries we so often lean on to understand the world.

Each volume is in near fine to fine condition. A unique set illustrating the evolution of this great literary work. James Joyce's Ulysses was first published by Shakespeare and Company Paris in February 1922. Between 1922 and 1925 the text was reprinted six times. In May 1926 Shakespeare and Company issued a second edition mistakenly called the eighth printing in which the type of the text was entirely reset and Joyce's corrections from the previous printings were absorbed. Since its publication the book has attracted controversy and scrutiny ranging from an obscenity trial in the United States in 1921 to protracted textual "Joyce Wars". The novel's stream of consciousness technique careful structuring and experimental prose—replete with puns parodies and allusions—as well as its rich characterization and broad humor have led it to be regarded as one of the greatest literary works in history.

1916rif. 152253New York: B.W. Huebsch 1916. First American edition of Joyce’s classic stream-of-consciousness work his first novel. Octavo original publisher's blue cloth titles stamped in blind to the front panel. In very good condition. Housed in a custom hand-painted board slipcase in good condition. A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man New York 1916; London 1917 is the first novel of James Joyce 1882-1941 and one of the foundational texts of literary modernism a semi-autobiographical Bildungsroman tracing the intellectual spiritual and artistic development of Stephen Dedalus from earliest childhood through his rejection of Irish Catholicism nationalism and family obligation and his determination to pursue his vocation as an artist in voluntary exile from everything that had formed him. Originally composed as the abandoned manuscript Stephen Hero beginning in 1904 the novel was radically reconceived and rewritten in the stream of consciousness technique that would define Joyce's mature style serialized in Harriet Shaw Weaver's literary journal The Egoist from February 1914 to September 1915 before appearing in book form with its American publication by B.W. Huebsch preceding the British Egoist Press edition. The epitome of the modernist Bildungsroman the novel was controversial from the moment of its publication with contemporary readers finding its treatment of the minutiae of daily life indecorous and its central character unappealing while Ezra Pound accurately predicted that the book would remain a permanent part of English literature and H.G. Wells praised its originality and courage in the New Republic. It was chosen by Modern Library as one of 100 greatest novels of the twentieth century. B.W. Huebsch hardcover
