Ulysses by James Joyce. London: John Lane The Bodley Head, 1937. First English Trade Edition, First Impression. Octavo (21.25cm)
A legendary book in lovely, near-fine condition. Considered one of Joyce’s masterpieces and one of the most important works in modernist literature. The novel chronicles the experiences of three Dubliners over the course of a single day, 16 June 1904, which fans of the novel now celebrate as Bloomsday. Green cloth boards with gold gilt on spine and Homeric bow on front cover. Mint green topstain. Near-fine condition, tightly bound with only some very slight foxing to front cover, as pictured.
An attractive edition of Joyce’s most enduring work, the text reproduced by photo-offset from John Lane’s 1936 limited edition, and issued in a reduced-size trade binding. Near-fine original, unrestored dust jacket with only a small spot on the back, as pictured. Dustjacket is price-clipped, with light wear to crown & three small closed tears, a bright, near-fine example.
