1932réf. 8451Hamburg: The Odyssey Press 1932. FIRST HARDCOVER EDITION 8vo pp. 791 3. Original pale grey cloth boards bordered with a double blind rule front board lettered in red. Spine a little darkened cloth of joints splitting but binding tight. Marginal pencil notes throughout. Hamburg’s Odyssey Press issued Ulysses in several versions in December 1932 with a significant text revised by Stuart Gilbert at Joyce’s own request: Slocum and Cahoon give apparent priority to the relatively common two-volume paperback edition of the same month though it seems likely that it was issued simultaneously with this much scarcer india-paper single-volume edition and both slightly before the special two-volume signed issue. Since the Shakespeare and Company printings the early American piracy and the two-volume Odyssey Press edition were all in wrappers this is therefore the first publication of the text in hardcover form preceding the authorised American edition by more than a year.

1937réf. 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.

1936réf. 21246351936. London: John Lane the Bodley Head. 1936. Tall 8vo. Original green linen buckram lettered in gilt to spine Eric Gill's Homeric bow illustration in gilt to upper board top edge gilt other edges untrimmed; pp. xiii 3 765 3; cloth discoloured especially at extremities and stained spine sunned extremities and text block rubbed; light foxing internally but generally clean; a good copy.First UK edition no. 341 of 900 copies on japon vellum paper bound in linen buckram from a total edition of 1000.The Bodley Head edition of Ulysses the first published in the United Kingdom includes the first Joyce bibliography as well as appendices concerning the obscenity case that had kept the work from British printers. Unsurprisingly for a book with such a chequered publication history there are a number of typographical differences from earlier editions. Despite Joyce correcting the proofs while on holiday in Copenhagen in early 1936 several mistakes were later spotted. The bibliography by Peter Pertzoff had been submitted without further corrections or acknowledgment from Joyce. Pertzoff was apparently surprised to see it appear inaccuracies and all in this edition.The typography and design was overseen by Allen Lane and Joyce's representative Paul Leon. Eric Gill was commissioned to design the binding of this edition with its iconic Homeric bow on the upper board.Slocum & Cahoon A23. hardcover
1935réf. 151736New York: The Limited Editions Club 1935. The Limited Editions Club signed limited edition of Joyce’s landmark Ulysses widely recognized as the first illustrated edition. Large quarto original gilt-stamped pictorial brown cloth with 26 illustrations. One of 1500 numbered copies this is number 1476. Boldly signed by Henri Matisse in pencil on the colophon page at the rear. In near fine condition. Introduction by Stuart Gilbert. Housed in the rare original board slipcase which is in good condition. One of the 20th-century’s most desirable illustrated books combining the work of two great modern artists. A nice example with the rare slipcase. One of the most arresting collaborations in 20th-century literature. "It was a great idea to bring them together; celebrities of the same generation of similar virtuosity" Wheeler 15. The 26 beautiful full-page illustrations by Matisse accompany the text of Joyce's Ulysses including six soft-ground etchings with reproductions of the sketches on blue and yellow paper. "One of the very few American livres de peintres issued before World War II. According to George Macy this work's designer who undertook this only American publication of Matisse's illustrations he asked the artist how many etchings the latter could provide for $5000. The artist chose to take six subjects from Homer's Odyssey. The preparatory drawings reproduced with the soft-ground etchings Matisse's only use of this medium record the evolution of the figures from vigorous sketches to closely knit compositions" Artist and the Book 197.

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.

"Within a month of the publication the first printing of Ulysses Shakespeare and Company Paris 1922 was practically sold out and within a year Joyce had become a well-known literary figure. Ulysses was explosive in its impact on the literary world… Then began the great game of smuggling the edition into countries where it was forbidden especially England and the United States. The contraband article was transported across the seas and national borders in all sorts of cunning ways" de Grazia 27. In this edition the text of Joyce's great work is preceded by a foreword synopsis of the District Court decision and letter from Joyce to his publisher Bennett Cerf all discussing the extraordinary controversy surrounding the book's publication. In 1929 an unauthorized American edition of the novel appeared a piracy of the legitimate ninth printing of Shakespeare and Company. "This Random House edition was set up from the text of a copy of that pirated edition incorporating most of its typographical errors and adding a few new ones" Slocum A21. The United States' ban on Ulysses was not lifted until December 6th 1933; one month later the first authorized American edition was delivered to the public. Joyce's "novel is universally hailed as the most influential work of modern times" Grolier Joyce 69. Named by Modern Library as one of the 100 greatest novels of the 20th century.
