Letters of James Joyce

437 pp. Volume I only. "More than any other biographer or critic has been able to do, this volume gives us James Joyce, the man and his work. The editor, Stuart Gilbert, his long-time friend, contributes a useful memoir and brief notes on names and references in the letters. Richard Ellmann supplies a Joyce chronology, and a few explanatory letters from other writers are included. The book is illustrated with a rare photograph of the Joyce family and with facsimiles of Joyce's handwriting."--jacket
