Condizione: Very Good. Here is "James Joyce's Ulysses" by Stuart Gilbert 1934 Third printing, issued in hardcover format by Alfred A. Knopf in their Alblabooks series. One of the Earliest Critical Studies of "Ulysses" Stuart Gilbert, a long-time friend of James Joyce, contributed a chapter of an early work-in-progress by Joyce, which was later to evolve into "Finnegans Wake". (They were introduced by Sylvia Beach, proprietor of "Shakespeare and Company bookshop). Gilbert was one of the first literary critics to address the works of Joyce. Gilbert's literary analysis of "Ulysses" is quite granular, covering most of the intricacies of the book, if not page by page, then at least chapter by chapter. He identifies correspondences between Joyce's book and ancient Greek characters from Homer's original "Odyssey", as well as identifying locales within the city of Dublin, that appear in the book (and their ancient antecedents in the "Odyssey. It is a very detailed work, and in my opinion, probably one of the most important of works of literary criticism about "Ulysses" existing. One key element of this specific copy is that it came from the personal collection of poet Bruce Berlind, and has his inked signature on the front free end-paper.

The front cover displays nicely. The top edge of the text-block is considerably rubbed and faded; fore- and bottom- text-block edges are toned, but clean and unmarked.

INTERIOR - End-papers are toned, especially on the paper over the hinges, which are considerably darker. The signature of the original owner, Bruce Berlind, esteemed poet and college professor, is written in ink at the top of the front free end-paper. I spotted a couple of pencil erasures (not egregious - (and now, when looking for them I couldn't find them). There are a few tiny spots, which might have come through the production, else the interior is clean and free of marking. No underlining, no marginalia. DUST-JACKET - Not present.…
