In 1982 Professor Ellmann presented a new edition of his classic work in honor of the James Joyce Centenary, thoroughly revised & expanded to take into consideration the extensive fresh information that had come to light in the 22 years since its first publication. This new material provided further insights into many aspects of Joyce's life: his literary aims, his loves & domestic travails, his political views. Much of this material came form the Boswellian records kept by Stanislaus Joyce, from the papers of Stuart Gilbert, C.P. Curran, Sylvia Beach, Harriet Shaw Weaver & Ezra Pound. A new love affair, a dream notebook, a limerick about Samuel Beckett, previously unknown letters (these & much more) were newly incorporated in c. 100 pages which were added to the text & notes, & the number of illus. grew from 30 to 117, many of which appeared in this edition for the 1st time anywhere. Professor Ellmann's orig. research led him from Dublin to London, Paris, Trieste, Zurich, Copenhagen & Pola. In the process Ellmann discovered many people who served as partial models for Joyce's characters, networks of association in which they were placed, & he shows how Joyce converted this raw material into brilliant works of fiction. Ellmann gives a fascinating account of the literary milieu in which Joyce worked, & discusses his relationships w/ Yeats, Shaw, Eliot, Hemingway, Proust, Pound, Larbaud & Fitzgerald. He details the painful publishing history of Joyce's works. His dramatic portrait of Joyce as son, lover, husband, father & artist provides keys to understanding Joyce's revolutionary writings, from "Dubliners" through "Ulysses" & "Finnegan's Wake." On March 15, 1982, in the quiet of his study at New College, Oxford, Professor Ellmann meditated on the brief preface to the new edition of his masterpiece, which he drew to its own little conclusion w/ these few words: "In the 2nd edition, as in the 1st, I have followed Joyce's own prescription of total candor w/ the knowledge that his life, like Rousseau's, can bear others' scrutiny as it bore his own. In working over these pages I have felt all my affection for him renewed" * HIGHEST PRAISE: "The best literary biography of our time. Nobody interested in Joyce or the novel or the literature of the 20th century can afford to remain ignorant of it." - Robert Martin Adams, The Hudson Review * "Here is the definitive work, & I hope it will become a model for future scholarly biographies." - Dwight MacDonald, The New Yorker, Books<
