1916152253New York: B.W. Huebsch 1916. First American edition of Joyce’s classic stream-of-consciousness work his first novel. Octavo original publisher's blue cloth titles stamped in blind to the front panel. In very good condition. Housed in a custom hand-painted board slipcase in good condition. A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man New York 1916; London 1917 is the first novel of James Joyce 1882-1941 and one of the foundational texts of literary modernism a semi-autobiographical Bildungsroman tracing the intellectual spiritual and artistic development of Stephen Dedalus from earliest childhood through his rejection of Irish Catholicism nationalism and family obligation and his determination to pursue his vocation as an artist in voluntary exile from everything that had formed him. Originally composed as the abandoned manuscript Stephen Hero beginning in 1904 the novel was radically reconceived and rewritten in the stream of consciousness technique that would define Joyce's mature style serialized in Harriet Shaw Weaver's literary journal The Egoist from February 1914 to September 1915 before appearing in book form with its American publication by B.W. Huebsch preceding the British Egoist Press edition. The epitome of the modernist Bildungsroman the novel was controversial from the moment of its publication with contemporary readers finding its treatment of the minutiae of daily life indecorous and its central character unappealing while Ezra Pound accurately predicted that the book would remain a permanent part of English literature and H.G. Wells praised its originality and courage in the New Republic. It was chosen by Modern Library as one of 100 greatest novels of the twentieth century. B.W. Huebsch hardcover

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.

In fine condition. An exceptional presentation. "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.

A few chips and tears to jacket including one tear the full height of the jacket at spine; jacket presents well in new mylar sleeve. Toning to interior. Text is unmarked. Royal 8vo 9 3/4"h x 6 1/2"w. Uncommon First Edition in jacket. <br /> <br /> Finnegans Wake is groundbreaking work of modernist literature that challenges conventional narrative forms and explores the complexities of language history and the human psyche. he novel breaks down traditional linguistic structures creating a text that is both elusive and rich in meaning. The story is presented in a cyclical structure reflecting Joyce’s view of history as repetitive and fluid while its dream-like quality mirrors the erratic flow of consciousness. Drawing on a vast array of cultural literary and historical references Finnegans Wake engages with profound philosophical questions about the nature of language identity and reality. This intertextual and experimental novel defies simple interpretation inviting readers to explore its layers of meaning and challenging the boundaries of what a novel can achieve. A cornerstone of 20th-century literature Finnegans Wake has had a lasting influence on both literary theory and creative expression making it a pivotal work for those interested in the intersections of language philosophy and narrative innovation.

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

Originally founded as Éditions Narcisse and a vehicle to print their own works by mid-1928 The Black Sun Press had become a vital channel between artists and writers and a select group of readers and collectors who appreciated finely bound hand-set books. Working in Rue Cardinale with Master Printer Roger Lescaret the press issued limited editions of the first unexpurgated editions of D.H. Lawrence's 'Sun' and 'The Escaped Cock' Kay Boyle's 'Short Stories' Archibald MacLeish's 'Einstein' Eugene Jolas's 'Secession in Astropolis' a volume of 'Les Liaisons Dangereuses' and Hart Crane's 'The Bridge' among other works.
