Faber, London, 1939. First edition, a clean unmarked copy in the dust wrapper, some chipping to the edges of the dust wrapper with some slight loss to the spine ends, some minor toning and spotting to the prelims, a very good copy overall.Widely regarded as one of the most difficult works in English literature the book received mixed review when published in serialised form, and as the finished book. The book has steadily gained increasingly accepted part of the critical literary canon. Joyce’s last great work, the "Anna Livia Plurabelle" section has been acclaimed as one of the one of the most beautiful prose-poems in English. Slocum & Cahoon A47; Connolly, The Modern Movement, 87. Scarce; the print run was only 3,400 copies of which 950 were destroyed by the publisher’s, the fragile dust wrapper is often missing or worn
