Contact seller5-star sellerThe summer 1928 issue of Transition, number 13, containing James Joyce's ongoing piece âContinuation of a Work in Progress." Octavo, original pictorial wrappers with the cover portrait by Picasso, illustrated with black and white photographs throughout including Berenice Abbott's famed portrait of James Joyce. âContinuation of a… Work in Progress" is an excerpt of Joyce's experimental novel that would later be published as Finnegans Wake (1939). Joyce began working on Finnegans Wake shortly after the 1922 publication of Ulysses. By 1924 installments of Joyce's new avant-garde work began to appear, in serialized form, in Parisian literary journals transatlantic review and transition, under the title "fragments from Work in Progress". The actual title of the work remained a secret until the book was published in its entirety, on 4 May 1939. The work has assumed a preeminent place in English literature. In very good condition with loss to the spine. Cover by Pablo Picasso. Transition was a Paris-based modernist literary journal founded in 1927 by Eugene Jolas that became one of the most influential platforms for experimental writing in the interwar period. Dedicated to challenging traditional literary forms, the magazine published work by leading figures such as James Joyce, Gertrude Stein, Samuel Beckett, and Hart Crane, often showcasing texts that pushed the boundaries of language and narrative. Its pages were especially important for serializing excerpts of Joyceâs Work in Progress (later Finnegans Wake), thereby introducing avant-garde readers to his evolving style.

Contact seller5-star sellerFirst limited British edition of this collection of critical essays and two letters on James Joyce's book Finnegans Wake. Small octavo, original publisher's cloth. Boldly signed by Samuel Beckett and Marcel Brion on the half-title page, and additionally signed by Beckett above the title of his essay. Samuel Beckett and Marcel Br…ion both personally knew James Joyce and were early defenders of his experimental work 'Finnegans Wake.' Beckett, a close associate of Joyce in Paris, assisted him with research and contributed an essay to 'Our Exagmination.' Marcel Brion, though more distant, also knew Joyce and played a key role in promoting Finnegans Wake to a French audience, offering interpretive insights that helped frame its reception within European modernism. He also contributed an essay to 'Our Exagmination.' One of 96 numbered copies, this example is unnumbered. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Letters of Protest by G.V.L. Slingsby and Vladimir Dixon. From the collection of Robert Duncan. Rare. Our Exagmination Round His Factification for Incamination of Work in Progress (1929) is a landmark critical volume that offers some of the earliest responses to James Joyceâs Finnegans Wake, then still unpublished and known only as Work in Progress. Comprising essays by a range of writersâ"including Samuel Beckett, William Carlos Williams, and Stuart Gilbertâ"the collection attempts to grapple with the experimental form, linguistic density, and philosophical ambition of Joyceâs evolving text. While some essays offer praise and others express bafflement, the volume as a whole reflects the modernist fascination with Joyceâs radical departure from conventional narrative.
