1922réf. 142260Paris: Shakespeare and Company 1922. First edition of Joyce's masterpiece one of 750 numbered copies printed on handmade paper from a total edition of 1000 copies this is number number 817. Thick quarto original blue and white wrappers. In very good condition with some expert restoration to the spine and a crease to the front wrapper which has been coloured. Housed in a custom half morocco chemise and clamshell box. Ulysses was published in Paris by Shakespeare & Company 1922. It was a struggle for the author to find a publisher a comic irony considering that Ulysses is "universally hailed as the most influential work of modern times" Grolier Joyce 69. Ulysses was an immediate success. The first printing sold out and "within a year Joyce had become a well-known literary figure. Ulysses was explosive in its impact on the literary world of 1922" de Grazia 27. Even so the book faced difficulties in global reception. It was banned in the U.K. and was prosecuted for the obscenity in the Nausicaa episode Ellmann 1982. Joyce's inspiration for the novel began as a young boy reading Charles Lamb's Adventures of Ulysses and writing an essay entitled "My Favorite Hero" after being impressed by the wholeness of the character Goreman 1939. The idea for the novel grew from a story in Dubliners in 1906 which Joyce expanded into a short book in 1907 before reconceptualizing it as the heady novel in 1914 Ellmann 1982. The book can initially seem unstructured and chaotic and Joyce admitted that he "put in so many enigmas and puzzles that it will keep the professors busy for centuries arguing over what I meant" The Observer 2000. The French translator Stuart Gilbert published a defense of Ulysses shortly after its publication in which he supported the novel's use of obscenity and explained its internal structure and links to the Odyssey against accusations of ambiguity. Every episode Gilbert explained is connected to the Odyssey by theme technique and correspondence between characters. Another instance of Ulysses' literary contribution is his use of stream-of-consciousness a technique employing carefully structured prose both humorous and charactering and involving puns and parodies. Joyce was a precursor to the use of stream of consciousness in the later decades. Similar narrative techniques were used by his contemporaries Virginia Wolfe William Faulkner and Italo Svevo. Their style can be better characterized as an "interior monologue rather than stream of consciousness is the appropriate term for the style in which subjective experience is recorded both in The Waves and in Woolf's writing generally" Stevenson 1992.

1939réf. 6104London: Faber and Faber 1939. First trade edition. Near Fine/Very Good . A Near Fine copy of the book in Very Good dust jacket. 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.

1918réf. 154058London: Egoist Press 1918. Inscribed to an early reviewer of Ulysses First edition to be printed in Britain inscribed by the author "To George and Mary Slocombe James Joyce Paris 7. i. 1926" on the half-title. George Slocombe was an English journalist writing for the American papers. Joyce asked Sylvia Beach to send him a press copy of Ulysses and he was among its first reviewers telling the readers of the Daily Herald that it was "as large as a telephone directory or a family Bible and with many of the literary and social characteristics of each". Joyce's inscriptions usually appear on the front free endpaper; in this copy however that space was already taken by the ownership inscription dated and located "Paris 1921" of Allan Ross "Dougie" MacDougall 1893-1956 a gay expatriate Scotsman in Paris friend and later biographer of Isadora Duncan. In the early 1920s MacDougall had a regular column in the Chicago Tribune and he and Slocombe shared a close mutual friend in Edna St Vincent Millay. Presumably MacDougall gave the book to Slocombe who then asked Joyce to inscribe it. Portrait was serialized in the English literary magazine The Egoist in 1914 and 1915 and first published as a book in 1916 by B. W. Huebsch of New York from whom Harriet Shaw Weaver proprietor of the Egoist Press purchased and bound some 750 sets of the US sheets issuing them in London under the Egoist imprint in 1917. This second edition is the first to be printed in Britain. Presentation copies of this printing are rare and examples with such intriguing Parisian provenance are exceptional. Octavo. Original green cloth titles to front board in blind and to spine in white. Housed in a navy blue morocco backed book-form folding case by the Chelsea Bindery. Spine heavily toned and somewhat rolled some toning around margins within but still a sound copy in good condition. Slocum & Cahoon A13. hardcover
