JOYCE, James (1882-1941). Ulysses. In: Two Worlds Monthly, Vol. I, No. 1-Vol.III, No. 3. New York City: Two Worlds Publishing Company, July 1926 - September 1927.
11 volumes, 8vo. Original printed wrappers (some chipping or tears).
Pirated first appearance of Joyce's Ulysses in America, published by Samuel Roth. Complete as issued in 11 volumes; a 12th installment was planned but not issued separately, although it did appear when the work was issued in a two-volume bound edition. Joyce sought and obtained an injunction against Roth, and sued for damages. Slocum & Cahoon C-68 ("This unauthorized serialization of Ulysses resulted in considerable public indignation and provoked the 'International Protest' signed by 167 artists and writers and printed in transition" in April 1927.)
Property from the Collection of Andy Nettell
