JOYCE (JAMES) AND F.J.C. SKEFFINGTON
Footnotes
JOYCE'S FIRST APPEARANCE IN BOOK FORM AND HIS SECOND APPEARANCE IN PRINT: A FINE COPY. This pamphlet was printed after both articles were rejected for publication in the University College Dublin magazine, St Stephen's. Joyce's contribution, criticising the Irish Literary Theatre, had been turned down because of a reference to D'Annunzio's Il Fuoce, which was listed in the Index librorum prohibitorum; the article by Skeffington (a pacifist, feminist and vegetarian who was killed in the Easter Uprising of 1916) was refused because it advocated equal status for women at the University. Undeterred, the impecunious students put together the necessary £2-5-0 and had the pamphlet printed at the stationer's across the green on 31 October 1901. Slocum and Cahoon suggest that 85 copies were printed, a figure repeated by Ellmann.
