19272020144Paris: Shakespeare And Company 1927. Ninth Printing. Hardcover. fine. Octavo 738 pages later half green morocco green cloth pastel endpapers; bound by N. Papapetrum Chicago IL; ex libris Ary John Arlon M.D. <br/><br/>"Bloom is a universal comic character like Falstaff Daedalus is guilty adolescence - Connolly THE MODERN MOVEMENT 42." The book was sold to subscribers including Winston Churchill. "The most famous rejection came from George Bernard Shaw who claimed ULYSSES was 'a revolting record of a disgusting phase of civilization' and that no Irishman would ever pay 150 francs for this book or any other." Joyce continuously revised the book throughout the typesetting of the first printing. As a result of his revisions and French printers setting a book in English many mistakes crept into the text for which corrections were attempted again and again in subsequent printings. In fact arguably the author's finished text has yet to be published despite the so-called Definitive Edition published in 1996."ULYSSES was printed for Shakespeare and Company eleven times - Slocum & Cahoon 17." The U. S. " government based its case against the novel on the dual grounds of Joyce's use of Anglo-Saxon four-letter words and the erotic passages in Mollie Bloom's monologue. No one who has read ULYSSES could deny that Joyce reproduced the coarse language of Dublin's streets with a fidelity never before rendered in literature." - Alfred Haworth Jones.
