Ulysses.

1937ref. 153423London: John Lane The Bodley Head 1937. First British trade edition of Joyce’s epic masterpiece one of the most celebrated and influential novels of the twentieth century here in a custom full-leather art binding by the binder Karen McGuire. Octavo bound in full green leather with gilt titles and ruling to the spine gilt ruling to the front and rear panels with the bow of Ulysses in maroon inlay with gilt details after Eric Gill’s original design to the front panel top stain green marbled endpapers. With a prefatory list of the previous editions of Ulysses and three appendices covering the banning of the novel the unauthorized serial edition of Samuel Roth together with the list of writers and other notables who petitioned against it and a Joyce bibliography of eighteen titles. In very good condition. A striking artist’s binding of Joyce’s masterpiece. 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 Woolf 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.

Large 8vo. 264 x 204 mm. Half-title printed title in blue and black leaf with justification and production credits verso leaf with list of 'Previous Editions of 'Ulysses'' leaf with details of the appendices and Joyce's text concluding 'Trieste-Zürich-Paris 1914-1921' and appendices. The deluxe issue of the first edition of Joyce's magnum opus to be printed in Great Britain.From the edition limited to 1000 copies with this one of 100 on mould-made paper in the deluxe vellum binding designed by Eric Gill and signed and numbered by Joyce; the original slipcase features matching numbering to the book.This authoritative edition of 'Ulysses' the first to be published in Great Britain features Joyce's corrected text see below details of the seven previous editions and their fates where applicable for example for the Egoist Press edition '499 copies were seized by the Customs Authorities Folkestone' and detailed appendices concerning the protests injunctions and trials relating to the publication of the book and a bibliography of works by Joyce.Written over a seven year period during Joyce's peripatetic tour of Trieste Zurich and Paris where it was eventually first published 'Ulysses' chronicles a day in the life of Leopold Bloom: June 16th 1904. The book was banned in Britain Ireland and America until the 1930s due to its apparent obscenity hence the need originally for French publication. Considered by many to be the greatest work of literature in the English language 'Ulysses' is certainly a supreme monument of literary Modernism and conceivably the greatest work of literature of the 20th century; Nabokov considered it one of the 'greatest masterpieces of twentieth century prose'. However the greatness of Ulysses has often been overshadowed by the novel's difficulty its ambiguities and its intense literary nature all factors that led the publisher Sylvia Beach to announce the first edition of the work with the apology: 'the publisher asks the reader's indulgence for typographical errors unavoidable in the exceptional circumstances'; the errors are corrected in the present edition.Although the slipcase for the present copy is rubbed and worn it remains intact and the vellum of the binding of the book is fresh with only slight toning to the spine and some small marks to the boards; overall a good copy of this important text.Slocum & Cahoon A23.

Ulysses.

1922ref. 21212431922. Paris: Shakespeare and Company. 1922. 4to. Original blue wrappers titles to cover in white; pp. 732 uncut; spine hinges and extremities expertly repaired; a very good copy housed in a custom quarter brown calf over blue cloth book form box lettered in gilt to the spine; early bookplate 'Ex Libris Yester House' to front free endpaper see below.First edition number 442 of 750 copies on handmade paper numbered 251 to 1000; the copy sold to the poet E. E. Cummings according to Sylvia Beach's records.'Ulysses is not a great novel in the sense of A la recherche du temps perdu. The characters do not develop. It has no consistent tragic grandeur and bogs down in several stylistic exercises which have nothing to do with the novel proper; yet the early Dedalus section the middle parts of Bloom and the Nightown orgy and Molly's final reverie stand out like Gaudi's unfinished cathedral. The whole plan fails through Joyce's intellectual preference for language rather than people - yet somehow it does achieve greatness like a ruined temple soaring from a jungle - and should be judged perhaps as a poem a festival of the imagination' Connolly 100 Key Books of the Modern Movement.Cyril Connolly's judgement stands as a fair summation of this astonishing novel - discursive baffling funny moving a unique mingling of highbrow allusion and quotidian detail. It is as dazzling a display of stylistic virtuosity as has ever been attempted in prose to the extent that it might not even be prose any more and it is all in the service of a narrative that does nothing more than illuminate one day in the life of an ordinary man. It is a celebration of the individual that expresses the deep richness of human existence by drawing the parallels between the feats of classical heroes and the deeds of everyday life.It was also famously judged to be so obscene after excerpts of the work in progress were published in the American journal The Little Review between 1918 and 1920 that no mainstream publisher would touch it. Indeed British printers were forbidden from printing it. It would take Sylvia Beach the visionary owner of Shakespeare and Company in Paris to publish this the first edition in book form in a strictly limited run on Joyee's fortieth birthday on 2 February 1922. The first UK edition published by The Egoist Press in the October of the same year had to use Beach's printer in Dijon Darantiere and her plates to obviate the legal restrictions. The very existence of this work in print then is due to the perseverance and commitment of Sylvia Beach. Beach met Joyce at a tea party in 1920 and got to know him and his work after he joined her lending library; from such low-key beginnings quickly grew a creative partnership that would shape literary history. Shakespeare and Company gained considerable fame from the publication of Ulysses but actually lost financially after Joyce signed with another publisher and left Beach in debt caused by bankrolling the printing and distribution of his masterpiece the first book she had ever published. Nevertheless she seems never to have seriously regretted her part in the production of this cultural behemoth a book for which T. S. Eliot wrote in awestruck tones: 'I hold Ulysses to be the most important expression which the present age has found; it is a book to which we are all indebted and from which none of us can escape'.Provenance: According to Sylvia Beach's records copy number 442 was sold to the poet E. E. Cummings in February 1922. The copy has an alternative provenance: Mary Mowbray-Clarke proprietor of The Sunwise Turn bookshop in New York City records copy no. 442 arriving at her shop in January 1923. The Yester House of the elegant bookplate is located in Mobile Alabama and is now called Carolina Hall. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. We are not sure who was living there in 1922 but in 1955 a William Clay Perdue and his wife Martha took over the property.Slocum & Cahoon A17. hardcover
