Item description from seller

Publication Dublin, The Dolmen Press, 1969 Formatting 8vo, pp. 57. Condition Report Near Fine. The book itself is remarkably well-preserved, featuring a square, tight binding that exhibits minimal signs of handling and no notable shelf-wear to the extremities. The internal pages remain exceptionally crisp, completely free of foxing, and retain their original brightness, suggesting the volume has been carefully stored over the decades. The original unclipped dust-wrapper, while lacking any significant tears, chipping, or loss, does exhibit some faint, uniform toning and subtle edge-wear along the upper and lower margins, preventing a higher grade, though it remains a highly attractive, unoxidised example overall. Catalogue Note This is a first edition of The Celtic Master, a scholarly compilation of essays initially presented at the First James Joyce Symposium held in Dublin in 1967. The volume was published by the esteemed Dolmen Press, an imprint highly regarded for its commitment to Irish literature and exceptional typographic design, set here in Times Roman with Perpetua display. Due to its specialised subject matter and relatively small initial academic distribution, this first edition has become increasingly scarce on the open market. It serves as a notable record of mid-twentieth-century Joycean scholarship, marking the inaugural gathering of the international symposium that has since become a cornerstone of Joyce studies. This makes it an excellent addition for collectors of modernist literary history and Dolmen Press imprints. Edited by Maurice Harmon,ÂThe Celtic Master gathers five essential essays from the First James Joyce Symposium, capturing the intellectual energy of the 1967 Dublin gathering. With contributions from Donagh MacDonagh, Niall Montgomery, Norman Silverstein, Margaret C. Solomon, and Stanley Sultan, the collection navigates the complexities of Joyceâs literary legacy within a deeply Irish context. The essays offer nuanced insights into Joyceâs works, from the linguistic layers ofÂFinnegans Wake to his intricate relationship with the Irish prose tradition, making this an invaluable, albeit elusive, volume for students and collectors of modernist literature alike.…
