JOYCE (JAMES)
Footnotes
A FINE COPY OF JOYCE'S GREAT SHORT STORY COLLECTION - HIS FIRST PROSE WORK. "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" (Joyce to his publisher Richards, quoted by Slocum & Cahoon). It was after the destruction of the sheets by Maunsel (see previous lot) that Joyce added two important stories to the collection, 'A Little Cloud' and 'The Dead', and in 1914 the author returned to Richards, who published the book in June of that year. The edition consisted of 1,250 sets, of which 746 were bound.
Provenance: A. Gueterbock and Alfred T. Cowie (1916-2003, veterinary scientist and Joyce devotee), ownership signatures on front free endpaper.
