Joyce, James. Dubliners. First edition 1914 Grant Richards London, 1914. Octavo, original red cloth, gilt. No dustjacket. Spine sunned, front and back covers stained, interior very good. Dubliners must surely have one of most protracted publication histories of any book. Grant Richards first accepted it in February 1906, but shortly afterwards changed his mind. The manuscript then passed to Elkin Mathews, John Long and Maunsel, before John Falconer of Dublin accepted it in 1910. In July that year, 1,000 copies were printed, only for the entire edition to be immediately destroyed, most probably at the behest of the Dublin Castle censors. Joyce engaged in a voluminous correspondence lobbying various publishers and even wrote an account of his woes in an article titled ‘A Curious History’. In one of his many letters of protest sent to Grant Richards in 1906, he declared “I seriously believe that you will retard the course of civilisation in Ireland by preventing the Irish people from having one good look at themselves in my nicely polished looking glass” (quoted in Slocombe and Cahoon, p. 13). Richards eventually accepted the manuscript in 1914 on the grounds that no royalties were to be paid on the first 500 copies and that Joyce guaranteed to purchase 120 copies. Only 746 copies were bound, of which this is one. A presentable example of this desirable book.
