Haveth Childers Everywhere is a "fragment of Work in Progress the working title of what was to become Finnegans Wake first published in June 1930 by Henry Babou and Jack Kahane in Paris and by the Fountain Press in New York. It comprises the last part of chapter 3 in Book III of Finnegans Wake FW 532.1-554.10. According to Richard Ellmann Joyce composed an advertisement for the first British edition published by Faber and Faber in 1931: ‘Humptydump Dublin squeaks through his norse/ Humptydump Dublin hath a horrible vorse/ And with all his kinks english/ Plus his irismanx brogues/ Humptydump Dublin’s grandada of all rogues" Fargnoli & Gillespie p. 101. "Haveth Childers Everywhere would first be published in Paris by Henry Babou and Jack Kahane for an advance of 25000 francs but much of their stock was bought by Wells for the Fountain press. . . .Reviewing the book in the New Statesman G. W. Stonier called Joyce ‘one of the very few great writers of our time’ who deserved ‘not a little admiration.’ Haveth Childers Everywhere he thought ‘a collector’s piece beautifully printed and bound but to me at least almost completely unintelligible’" Bowker p. 398. PROVENANCE: Olga Drexel Dahlgren 1898-1970 was a "daughter of Philadelphia banking heiress and New York society grande dame Lucy Wharton Drexel 1867-1944 and Eric Bernard Dahlgren Sr. and the granddaughter of Lucy Wharton 1841-1912 and the New York and Philadelphia banker and philanthropist Joseph William Drexel 1833-1888. . . .In the late 1920s Miss Dahlgren was romantically linked to acclaimed artist author and political activist Rockwell Kent. Kent is well known for his oeuvre in American bookplate design; over the course of more than fifty years Kent designed for individuals and institutions some 160 bookplates and secured the patronage of the haute bourgeoisie to become the court bookplate artist to the aristocracy of American tastemakers including Arthur Sulz" Blocksy description of property for sale available on-line.
