The author of one of the greatest of modern biographies lucidly disentwines the narrative, ethical, aesthetic, and ultimate levels of Joyce's masterpiece. Much of the evidence is internal, but he also makes the first use of some important indications by Joyce himself.

Hardcover. 8vo. Pale blue cloth with gilt spine lettering, pictorial dust jacket. xviii, 208pp. Frontispiece, illustrations, 2 foldout charts, pictorial endpapers. Fine/very good. Mild jacket edgewear, with spine faintly age toned. Superb and tight first edition of this study in which the American critic (1918-87), whose 1959 James Joyce biography won the National Book Award, "lucidly disentwines the narrative, ethical, aesthetic, and ultimate levels of the book" (jacket front flap) on its fiftieth anniversary. Exceptional copy of an unusually scarce edition. Seller Inventory # 51218
