8vo. First UK edition using sheets printed in France in May 1929. Original turquoise cloth lettered in gilt on the spine. Cloth a little darkened to the spine and top edges. Neat ink ownership, dated 1940, on the fly. Unclipped jacket, showing the price as '6s. net', a bit tanned on the spine with tiny nicks to the spine ends. Near fine in near fine d/w. A collection of essays about 'Work In Progress', which would be published as Finnegans Wake ten years later. The two 'Letters of Protest' are by Joyce. Beckett's contribution, 'Dante. Bruno. Vico. Joyce' is the author's first appearance in print. His first novel, only published in 1992 after his death but probably written c. 1932, was called 'Dream of Fair to Middling Women'. That title is adapted from Tennyson's poem but was used unaltered by Henry Williamson for one of his novels, published by Faber and included as No. 14 in the list of 'The Faber Library' on the back panel of the jacket of this book. The former owner was David Daiches CBE (1912-2005), the Scottish literary historian and critic. Codice articolo 5520

First edition, first issue, a press copy inscribed by Beach on the title page "the publisher, Sylvia Beach" and with "press copy" ink-stamped on the initial blank. The first article, "Dante. Bruno. Vico. Joyce", is Samuel Beckett's first appearance in print, while the wider collection is among the earliest critiques of Finnegans Wake, published ten years before the novel. The French writer Andre Chamson wrote, "Sylvia carried pollen like a bee. She cross-fertilized these writersShe did more to link England, the United States, Ireland, and France than four great ambassadors combined. It was not merely for the pleasure of friendship that Joyce, Hemingway, Bryher, and so many others often took the path to Shakespeare and Company in the heart of Paris." This early critique of Joyce's final work was partially intended to raise funds for the perennially impecunious writer. Other contributors include Marcel Brion, Frank Budgen, Stuart Gilbert, Eugene Jolas, Victor Llona, Robert McAlmon, Thomas McGreevy, Elliot Paul, John Rodker, Robert Sage, and William Carlos Williams. The publishers later sold sheets of this edition to Faber & Faber in London and New Directions in New York, who reissued them with inserted title pages, but this copy is from the original Paris issue. Slocum & Cahoon B10. Octavo. Original white wrappers printed in black. Housed in custom orange cloth slipcase and chemise. Nicking and a couple of spots of faint toning to extremities, short closed tears to spine ends, chipping and toning to otherwise clean contents, many leaves unopened: a very good copy.
