Softcover. Etat : Near Fine. First Italian edition of *The Cantos of Ezra Pound, Some Testimonies*. Narrow octavo. 15pp., printed on very thin paper. Text in Italian. Stapled self-wrappers. A bit of creasing at the spine base, front cover with a small area of very slight discoloration and two tiny foredge nicks, a near fine of a delicate pamphlet.

First published in English nearly 30 years prior; Pound had been in Italy for about three years when this pamphlet was published, almost certainly to advertise the Italian-language publication of his first 30 cantos, translated by his daughter Mary de Rachewiltz and published by Lerici & Scheiwiller the same year. Reportedly Lerici & Scheiwiller were the first to publish Pound, Langston Hughes, Antonio Machado, Norman Mailer, W.H. Auden, Henry Roth, and Isaac Bashevis Singer in Italian. Very uncommon.

A collection of essays about 'Work In Progress', which would be published as Finnegans Wake ten years later. The two 'Letters of Protest' are by Joyce. Beckett's contribution, 'Dante. Bruno. Vico. Joyce' is the author's first appearance in print. His first novel, only published in 1992 after his death but probably written c. 1932, was called 'Dream of Fair to Middling Women'. That title is adapted from Tennyson's poem but was used unaltered by Henry Williamson for one of his novels, published by Faber and included as No. 14 in the list of 'The Faber Library' on the back panel of the jacket of this book. The former owner was David Daiches CBE (1912-2005), the Scottish literary historian and critic.

First 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 Brion 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.

One of the elusive issues of The Little Review containing Episode VIII of Joyce's Ulysses. Thirteen (and part of the 14th) of the eighteen episodes of Ulysses were published serially in Margaret Anderson's influential magazine of the arts, comprising a significant textual version of the novel which would undergo substantial and complex changes before the first edition was published in 1922. Anderson was perpetually financially strapped, frequently forced to read and edit copy, and constantly battling her printer; production quality suffered off and on, and her radical sympathies drew the ire of postal censors. Four issues of The Little Review were seized and burned (January and May, 1919, and January and July-August, 1920), and publication of the serial came to a complete halt due to action brought by the Society for the Suppression of Vice (see: Hoffman, Frederick J., et al. The Little Magazine: A History and Bibliography, pp.52-66). See Slocum & Cahoon C53.

Original cream wrappers printed in black; pp. [6], 194, [4]; some toning; wrappers a little rubbed, front wrapper backed, hinge repaired, edges a little worn with a few chips, some small loss to spine, overall good.First edition of this collection of critical essays on Joyce's Work in Progress, featuring Samuel Beckett's first published work.Our Exagmination Round His Factification for Incamination of Work in Progress includes twelve essays, and two letters of protest, discussing James Joyce's Finnegans Wake (1939), which was then appearing in serialised form as "Work in Progress". The contributors, all writers who knew Joyce personally and followed the book's development, include Samuel Beckett ("Dante. Bruno. Vico. Joyce"), Frank Budgen ("James Joyce's Work in Progress and Old Norse Poetry"), Robert McAlmon ("Mr. Joyce Directs an Irish Word Ballet"), John Rodker ("Joyce and His Dynamic"), and William Carlos Williams ("A Point for American Criticism").Stuart Gilbert and Sylvia Beach speculated that one of the two protest letters was written by Joyce himself. The theory was debunked by an article published in the James Joyce Quarterly in 1979.
