JOYCE (JAMES)
Footnotes
VERY RARE BROADSIDE: JOYCE'S PROTEST AGAINST ROTH'S PIRACY OF 'ULYSSES'. The protest was organized by Joyce after Samuel Roth's New York journal Two Worlds Monthly serialised a bowdlerized form of the book. This serialisation was not authorised by Joyce, but as Ulysses was banned in America, the author had no copyright protection. Joyce sought an injunction, but because the legal process was likely to be slow, he decided to supplement it with a public protest. Joyce, Sylvia Beach and others solicited signatures and 167 literary, intellectual and artistic figures added their names, including Einstein, T.S. Eliot, E.M. Forster, Gide, Hemingway, D.H. Lawrence, Pirandello, Unamuno, Woolf and Yeats. An introductory statement was drafted by Ludwig Lewisohn, corrected by the lawyer Archibald MacLeish, and revised by Joyce. The protest, dated 2 February (Joyce's birthday), was issued to the press and copies were sent to the signatories.
