ST15816-12Dublin: Lilliput Press 1997. No. 3 OF 100 SPECIAL COPIES of the "Illegal" First Dublin Edition bound in quarter leather and signed by Rose and Banville from a total edition of 1000 numbered and 26 lettered copies. 240 x 158 mm. 9 1/2 x 6 1/4". 4 p.l. v-lxxxiii 1 739 3 pp.Edited by Danis Rose. With a foreword by John Banville. <br/> Publisher's quarter blue morocco over navy cloth boards smooth spine with silver lettering. In a blue buckram slipcase. In mint condition.<br/> <br/> This is the first printing of Joyce's masterpiece actually to be done in Ireland--75 years after its initial publication. Generally recognized as the most important 20th-century novel in English Joyce's chronicle of Leopold Bloom's odyssey through Dublin excited much controversy upon publication in 1922 and was for years a target of censorship especially in the U.S. and U.K. The present edition also met with some animosity when it was discovered that the editor prominent Joyce scholar Danis Rose used some language from the original manuscripts without permission from Joyce's estate. A lawsuit for copyright infringement was issued and this work subsequently became known as the "Illegal Edition." Despite the unpleasant dispute Rose's "Ulysses" was lauded for its readability and was described by the Irish Times as "a landmark edition for first-time readers and life-time fans." Founded in 1984 and still in operation today the Lilliput Press has published more than 600 titles of Irish interest and is regarded as one of Ireland's most esteemed small publishers. This strictly limited edition of 100 rarely appears for sale: we could trace just one auction appearance at PBA Galleries in 2005 where a copy was sold for $1495 all in. Lilliput Press unknown

1938WRCLIT83028Paris The Hague etc. 1938. Whole numbers 1-14 and 18 through 27 in 23 issues of 25 published bound up in eight volumes gilt cloth original wrappers and some cover slips bound in. Accompanied by two issues #15 and double number 16/7 in original wrappers and two supplements in original wrappers. A few wrappers show modest soiling those issues which inevitably show slight to a bit more than slight tanning to the text stock do so here some minor soiling and a few isolated spots to the cloth bindings tidemark at the toe of the spine of the volume containing 21/22/23 with some slight isolated rippling to some of the plates issues 15 and 16/17 lightly worn but unusually nice for these particular issues. Withal a good to largely very good or better run. A complete run of the most famous and influential expatriate literary periodical of its times edited by Eugene Jolas and various associate editors. This is a good association set with additions bound for and with the ownership signature in the second volume of poet/publisher James Laughlin who dedicated the premiere volume of his annual NEW DIRECTIONS IN PROSE & POETRY to "The Editors The Contributors & The Readers of TRANSITION who have begun successfully The Revolution of the Word." Issues number 1 and 6 are denoted second editions ie. printings with #1 now printing the correct order for Stein's "An Elucidation." Accompanied by the separate pamphlet printing of the corrected version of "An Elucidation" issued at Stein's insistence concurrent with the appearance of the first printing of issue #1. Also present is a fine copy of the supplement to issue #23 printing the collective "Testimony Against Gertrude Stein" in response to various slights errors or attacks made by her in THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF ALICE B. TOKLAS. Maria and Eugene Jolas Georges Braque Henri Matisse André Salmon and Tristan Tzara are the respondents. In addition to providing the forum for the serial publication of Joyce's WORK IN PROGRESS TRANSITION records a virtual who's who of the literary innovators of the times with the notable exception of Ezra Pound whose lack of affinity with one of the most frequent contributors may have led him to steer a separate course.

Dust jacket rubbed and a bit foxed with just a few short tears to the rear panel. Overall a very appealing copy of Joyce's only play.<br /> <br /> Exiles captures the romantic dramas of Richard and Bertha a common-law couple recently returned to their home country of Ireland and the complex dynamics that play out between them Richard's cousin Robert and Robert's wife Beatrice. "The play was not especially popular at the time and is commonly regarded as one of Joyce's weaker works. However much of the initial criticism may have had to do with the play's provocative themes: unconventional relationships jealousy weakened national ties to Ireland and exile. All of these topics resonate with Joyce's personal life making Exiles a partly autobiographical work" James Joyce Foundation. <br /> <br /> After W.B. Yeats refused to stage the play Joyce unsuccessfully attempted to interest theatrical companies throughout England Ireland and the United States. Exiles eventually debuted in German translation in Munich in 1919. Of the premiere Joyce wrote: "Complete fiasco. Row in theatre. Play withdrawn. Author invited but not present.Thank God" Morgan Library. The play was not performed in English until a staging at New York's Neighborhood Playhouse in 1925. <br /> <br /> Slocum & Cahoon 15.

Copy belonging to actor Peter Haskell with his manuscript annotations throughout and his shooting schedule laid in. <br /> <br /> Mary Ellen Bute's final film and the first cinematic adaptation of James Joyce's masterfully complex work of fiction.

The subsequent film maintains the original novel's oneiric style. Bute and her husband Ted Nemeth were longtime collaborators and Nemeth worked as both cinematographer and producer of the film. In 1965 it was honored at the Cannes Film Festival as Best Debut and remains Bute's sole feature length film. <br /> <br /> Shot on location in New York City and Dublin. <br /> <br /> Brown untitled wrappers.
