Description from the seller
James Joyce - Ulysses - The Odyssey Press (1932)
Description of the work
A rare and prestigious two-volume edition of James Joyce's masterpiece, published by The Odyssey Press in December 1932.
This particular edition is of fundamental historical and literary importance, as it was 'especially revised, at the author's request, by Stuart Gilbert', making it the most textually accurate and 'definitive' version published during Joyce's lifetime.
The lot includes the complete set (Volumes I and II).
In the front matter, there is the fascinating chronology of the previous printings (Shakespeare and Company, Egoist Press), which documents the seizures and destructions suffered by the work due to censorship of the time.

A rare and highly collectible two-volume set of James Joyce’s Ulysses, published by The Odyssey Press in December 1932.
This edition is of paramount importance to scholars and bibliophiles alike, as it represents the first version to be 'specially revised, at the author’s request, by Stuart Gilbert.
Due to the numerous typographical errors found in earlier Paris and London editions, this 1932 Odyssey Press printing is widely considered the most textually accurate and definitive version released during Joyce’s lifetime.
The set includes the fascinating 'printing history' page, detailing the work’s struggle with censorship, including the burning and seizure of copies by US and UK authorities.
A true cornerstone for any serious 20th-century literature collection.
