James Joyce, Ulysses (1922).
James Joyce
All of Joyce's works have been collected in depth. The holdings for Ulysses are exceptional and by far the largest in the world: the Ransom Center holds thirty-six complete copies (of 1,000 printed) of the first edition (Paris, 1922), including four of the first 100 signed copies printed on Dutch handmade paper. There are eight presentation copies of the same edition as well as copies from the libraries of Compton Mackenzie, Alfred A. and Blanche Knopf, Louis Zukofsky, and T.E. Lawrence. Many of the later editions in English of the novel are represented, as well as translations of Ulysses into all the major European languages. Supplementary book collections include Joyce's own Trieste Library and the library of the late Joyce scholar Joseph Prescott.
The Harry Ransom Center's blog Cultural Compass gives an insider's look at news, events, exhibitions, acquisitions, multimedia content, researcher and scholarly work, conservation, and items from the collections.
