"Ulysses is a novel by James Joyce first serialized in parts in the American journal The Little Review from March 1918 to December 1920 then published in its entirety by Sylvia Beach on February 2 1922 in Paris. Many consider it one of the most important works of Modernist literature. Ulysses chronicles the passage of Leopold Bloom through Dublin during an ordinary day June 16 1904. The title parallels and alludes to Odysseus Latinised into Ulysses the hero of Homer's Odyssey e.g. the correspondences between Leopold Bloom and Odysseus Molly Bloom and Penelope and Stephen Dedalus and Telemachus. Joyce fans worldwide now celebrate June 16 as Bloomsday. Ulysses totals about 265000 words from a vocabulary of 30030 words including proper names plurals and various verb tenses divided into 18 'episodes'. Since publication the book attracted controversy and scrutiny ranging from early obscenity trials to protracted textual 'Joyce Wars.' Ulysses' stream-of-consciousness technique careful structuring and experimental prose - full of puns parodies and allusions - as well as its rich characterisations and broad humour made the book a highly regarded novel in the Modernist pantheon. In 1999 the Modern Library ranked Ulysses first on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century. Vintage Books / Penguin Random House LLC paperback books

1944ref. 55458New York: Harcourt Brace and Company 1944. First printing. Near fine in a very good plus jacket. Inscribed first edition association copy of this effort to unpuzzle Joyce's famously inscrutable masterpiece - signed to the famed Jungian analyst Erlo van Waveren. Erlo van Waveren practiced psychotherapy in New York with his wife Ann for more than four decades. Both studied with Carl Jung and were regular attendees at the Jung Institute. Campbell himself was famously influenced by Jung and edited an edition of his work an influence heavily reflected in this Campbell's first book which investigates Joyce's "monomyth" an idea deeply indebted to the renowned psychologist's idea of the "collective unconscious." The van Waverans were also instrumental in the establishment of the Bollingen Series which published Campbell's most important work THE HERO WITH A THOUSAND FACES. It was Elro and Ann who introduced Paul and Amy Mellon benefactors of the series to Jung after whose Bollingen Tower the series was named and whose work served as its driving influence. A warm and significant association. 8'' x 5.25''. Original green cloth boards. Original price-clipped yellow printed dust jacket. 2 xiv 366 2 pages.
