By 1924 installments of Joyce's new avant-garde work began to appear in serialized form in Parisian literary journals transatlantic review and transition under the title "fragments from Work in Progress". The actual title of the work remained a secret until the book was published in its entirety on 4 May 1939. The work has assumed a preeminent place in English literature. Anthony Burgess praised the book as "a great comic vision one of the few books of the world that can make us laugh aloud on nearly every page." Harold Bloom called the book "Joyce's masterpiece" and wrote that "if aesthetic merit were ever again to center the canon Finnegans Wake would be as close as our chaos could come to the heights of Shakespeare and Dante." Listed by Modern Library as one of the 100 greatest novels of the twentieth century. Faber & Faber hardcover books

1901JCFA11652Dublin: Gerrard Bros. 1901. First Edition. Paperback. Very Good. Original staple-bound pink printed wraps; pp. 8. In original mailing envelope from Michael Papantonio First Editions and Rare Books 509 Madison Ave. New York c. 1939 addressed to R. H. Pitney. One of only 85 copies printed. <br/><br/>This is the first edition of Joyce's second published work and his first appearance in a book. His first published work was a review of Ibsen's "When We Dead Awaken" published in the Fortnightly Review the previous year. Joyce's essay written when he was a nineteen-year-old student at University College Dublin is an attack on the Irish Literary Theater and its founders -- Yeats Moore and Martyn. He accuses them of abandoning the high ideals of the Theater's founding and catering to popular tastes becoming "the property of the rabblement of the most belated race in Europe." Issued in "Two Essays" along with "A Forgotten Aspect of the University Question" by F. J. C. Skeffington Joyce's school friend advocating for equal university rights for women. Both essays were first rejected "refused insertion by the Censor" by St. Stephen's the newspaper of the University College Dublin at which point Joyce and Skeffington gather the 2 pounds 5 shillings necessary to have the essays printed at a local stationery shop. /// The provenance is also interesting. Michael Papantonio 1907-1978 enjoyed a long history in the rare book trade beginning at the Brick Row Bookshop at the age of seventeen. Twelve years later he opened his own shop specializing in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century English literature and Americana. WWII interrupted his career. After his discharge from the Army Medical Corps Papantonio formed a partnership with John S. Van Eisen Kohn launching the Seven Gables Bookshop. Papantonio's expertise in English literature complemented Kohn's knowledge of American literature. Together they built an antiquarian book business recognized for the quality of its stock and the integrity of its operations. Among the private collectors who bought from Seven Gables were Robert Taylor William E. Stockhausen Clifton Waller Barrett H. Bradley Martin Gordon Ray Mary Massey Folger Library Pierpont Morgan Library Yale Harvard Columbia and Princeton. Papantonio was also an expert in early American bindings and curated a travelling exhibition of them -- the catalogue for it is still a respected reference on the subject. Papantonio was a founding member of the ABAA. Gerrard Bros. paperback books

1916WRCLIT69985New York: B. W. Huebsch 1916. Medium blue cloth lettered in gilt and blind. Top edge slightly dust darkened trivial rubbing at crown and toe of spine but a very near fine copy in a fragment of the very scarce printed dust jacket. First edition. Although serialized in 25 installments in THE EGOIST from Feb. 1914 to Sept. 1915 British printers and publishers then still reeling from the suppression of Lawrence's THE RAINBOW were unreceptive in their responses to Joyce's efforts toward publication in book form. Based in part on Harriet Weaver's guarantee of 750 sets of sheets for the slightly later Egoist Press issue Huebsch took on the novel for December publication. The size of the first printing may have been reasonably conservative and a second printing was called for in April 1917. The printed dust jacket for this book is rather scarce; the present fragment consists of the rear flap blank the rear panel an advert for the Huebsch edition of THE PRUSSIAN OFFICER - wanting two significant chips in the blank area and a portion of the spine with "AR / AS / YOUNG MAN / JOYCE / $1.50 net" intact. " . the Portrait can be read as either an autobiography or a novel. A landmark in sensibility the prose moves forward in complexity from the child's sensations at the beginning to the adolescent subtleties at the end" - Connolly. SLOCUM & CAHOON A11.

19141232268vo. London: Grant Richards Ltd 1914. 8vo 278 pp. Original maroon cloth backstrip and upper cover titled in gilt. A very good copy backstrip slightly sunned a few light bumps ands scuffs to the lower board front hinge tender. § First edition of Joyce's first prose work a collection of short stories about his "dear dirty Dublin" published on June 15th 1914 after considerable travails. Richards had first agreed to publish the book in 1906 but the project was dropped when Joyce refused to amend "objectionable" passages. Joyce's retort is famous: "It is not my fault that the odour of ashpits and old weeds and offal hangs around my stories. I seriously believe that you will retard the course of civilisation in Ireland by preventing the Irish people from having one good look at themselves in my nicely polished looking-glass." Arrangements with Elkin Mathews and Maunsel likewise fell through until eventually Richards agreed to take up the book again. 1250 copies were printed 504 of which were sold to B.W. Huebsch for the American edition making this one of only 746 copies of the English first edition. Grant Richards Ltd hardcover books

One of 25 copies text on Apta Royale Laid Richard de Bas paper made in 1938 images on Musee paper backed on custom-made papers by Paul Wong on Dieu Donne' Papermill. Page size: 16 inches x 16 inches. Bound by Zahra Partovi in Coptic-style mauve-grey silk over boards box by David Bourbeau Thistle Bindery fine. Six original line etchings by Susan Weil are hand-painted in watercolor and gouache with gold-leafing throughout each mounted on museum board. These images surround the 40-page text when sitting in the box and when lifted out become three-dimensional paintings. There are also two original collages in the text and on the boards of the cover which is printed in three colors. The calligraphy is by Jerry Kelly and the letterpress is by Dan Keleher at Wild Carrot Letterpress. Susan Weil's third Joyce book takes an excerpt from FINNEGAN'S WAKE and it is as much as tour de force as her previous two. The box itself is a piece of sculpture and Susan's paintings are fully realized free-standing works of art; yet all combine to form a harmonious whole book. Vincent FitzGerald & Company unknown books

1919029930Zurich: Rascher & Cie. 1919. The first German edition of Joyce's play Exiles and the first of his works to be published in translation in any language. One of 600 copies printed: Joyce was living in Zurich at the time and he paid for the publication of this book out of his own pocket. This copy is inscribed by the author: "To J.R. sic Watson Jun / with grateful regards / James Joyce / 8. ix. 1919." J.S. Watson Jr. was at the time the co-owner of the modernist literary journal The Dial which he bought from Martyn Johnson with his friend and fellow Harvard graduate Scofield Thayer. Watson became president of the magazine and Thayer became its editor. The "grateful regards" refers to a gift of $300 that Watson had sent Joyce earlier in the year at the urging of Thayer who had himself sent Joyce $700. These sums bailed Joyce out of dire financial straits allowed him to settle a court case against him and helped him support the theater group that he had associated with in Zurich the English Players. In 1920 The Dial published a piece by Joyce and in 1921 Thayer was one of his most ardent and influential supporters in the censorship case in New York against Ulysses and its publication in the Little Review. A notable association copy of Joyce's first translation. Slocum & Cahoon D44. Pages browned and acidified and covers strengthened at all the edges and spine with tape with a hole cut in the spine for the title to show through. The first blank on which the inscription appears is also strengthened at the edges with tape. Fragile and a candidate for de-acidification but a significant association copy from a critical point in Joyce's life and career. Unless otherwise noted our first editions are first printings.
