"James Joyce novelist born at Rathgar a suburb of Dublin and educated at Irish Jesuit colleges. Dissatisfied with the intellectual atmosphere of Dublin he left Ireland in 1902 and spent most of the remainder of his life abroad chiefly in Trieste Zürich and Paris contending for many years with poverty suffering latterly from severe eye trouble and struggling to obtain the publication of his works." The Oxford Companion to English Literature 421-422 "A largely autobiographical novel. it portrays the childhood school days adolescence and early manhood of Stephen Dedalus later one of the leading characters in Ulysses. Stephen's growing self-awareness as an artist forces him to reject the whole narrow world which he has been brought up. rather than following a clear narrative progression the book revolves around experiences that are crucial to Stephen's development as an artist; at the end of each chapter Stephen makes some assertion of identity. Through his use of stream of consciousness technique Joyce reveals actual materials of his hero's world the components of his thought processes." Benét 822. Slocum and Cahoon A11. HBS 69673. $20000.

"Abbott photographed Joyce on two occasions the first in 1926 at his home in Paris and the second two years later in her studio. At the time of the sitting Joyce was struggling with teeth and eye problems and was struggling through completion of one of his best-known works Finnegan's Wake."

1930Best.-Nr. 1282461930. First Edition. Signed. JOYCE James. Haveth Childers Everywhere. Fragment from Work in Progress. Paris: Henry Babou and Jack Kahane; New York: Fountain Press 1930. Slim folio original printed paper wraps uncut and unopened original glassine original gilt chemise and green cardboard slipcase. Housed in a custom chemise and clamshell box. $17500.First edition number 50 of only 100 signed copies on ÒImperial Hand-Made Iridescent JapanÓ paper out of a total edition of 685 copies. A stunning copy.This is one of several fragments from Work in Progress published in 1939 as Finnegans Wake that Joyce issued to raise money while working on the mammoth project. One of the publishers Jack Kahane who idolized Joyce had originally asked Sylvia Beach to allow him to take over publication of Ulysses. Instead she introduced Kahane to Joyce who then agreed to let him publish Haveth Childers Everywhere. The effort nearly ruined Kahane and only by selling the American rights to the work were he and co-publisher Henry Babou able to save themselves from bankruptcy. When Faber and Faber was preparing the first London editions of Anna Livia Plurabelle and Haveth Childers Everywhere 1930 and 1931 respectively ""Joyce wrote rhymes for the 'blurb' on the dust jacket. The Haveth Childers verse is quoted in this description headlineÉ He was a little annoyed when the publicity departmentÉ used them only on a mimeographed publicity release to which they prefixed a note: 'The Sales department puzzled as such departments are wont to be have sought some light on the two James Joyce contributions to Criterion Miscellany. Below the explanations offered are passed on that you may be able to derive similar enlightenment"" Ellmann 617n. Slocum and Cahoon A41.
