By Samuel Beckett, Marcel Brion, Frank Budgen, Stuart Gilbert, Eugene Jolas, Victor Llona, Robert McAlmon, Thomas McGreevy, Elliott Paul, John Rodker, Robert Sage, William Carlos Williams with Letters of Protest by G.V.L. Slingsby and Vladimir Dixon. Small 4to., original printed wrappers with elaborate typographic roundel. First edition, one of 96 copies (No. 73) on Verge d'Arches. 8vo., original cream printed wrappers. Uncut and unopened. Paris, Shakespeare & Co. This collection of critical essays on Joyce's Finnegans Wake (being published in instalments) was a sort of circling of the wagons by the Anglophone intellectuals of Paris. Beckett was much in Joyce's company at the time, and this essay (the first of the essays here published, by virtue of the alphabet) is his first publication. It takes few intellectual prisoners: " . . . if you don?t understand it, Ladies and Gentlemen, it is because you are too decadent to receive it . His writing is not about something; it is that something itself". A very good copy with some slight overall soiling to the wrappers and two short areas of wear at the foot of each hinge, preserved in a handsome modern slipcase. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 231904

The contributors, all writers who knew Joyce personally and followed the book's development, include Samuel Beckett ("Dante. Bruno. Vico. Joyce"), Frank Budgen ("James Joyce's Work in Progress and Old Norse Poetry"), Robert McAlmon ("Mr. Joyce Directs an Irish Word Ballet"), John Rodker ("Joyce and His Dynamic"), and William Carlos Williams ("A Point for American Criticism").Stuart Gilbert and Sylvia Beach speculated that one of the two protest letters was written by Joyce himself.

First limited British edition of this collection of critical essays and two letters on James Joyce's book Finnegans Wake. Small octavo, original publisher's cloth. Boldly signed by Samuel Beckett and Marcel Brion on the half-title page, and additionally signed by Beckett above the title of his essay. Samuel Beckett and Marcel Brion both personally knew James Joyce and were early defenders of his experimental work 'Finnegans Wake.' Beckett, a close associate of Joyce in Paris, assisted him with research and contributed an essay to 'Our Exagmination.' Marcel Brion, though more distant, also knew Joyce and played a key role in promoting Finnegans Wake to a French audience, offering interpretive insights that helped frame its reception within European modernism. He also contributed an essay to 'Our Exagmination.' One of 96 numbered copies, this example is unnumbered. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Letters of Protest by G.V.L. Slingsby and Vladimir Dixon. From the collection of Robert Duncan. Rare. Our Exagmination Round His Factification for Incamination of Work in Progress (1929) is a landmark critical volume that offers some of the earliest responses to James Joyceâs Finnegans Wake, then still unpublished and known only as Work in Progress. Comprising essays by a range of writersâ"including Samuel Beckett, William Carlos Williams, and Stuart Gilbertâ"the collection attempts to grapple with the experimental form, linguistic density, and philosophical ambition of Joyceâs evolving text. While some essays offer praise and others express bafflement, the volume as a whole reflects the modernist fascination with Joyceâs radical departure from conventional narrative. Artikel-Nr. 148668
