JAMES JOYCE: A LIFE IN BOOKS
The Desmond J. Green Collection
Written by Luca Crispi
The one hundred-plus items in the Desmond J. Green collection of James Joyce’s books, manuscripts, correspondence, photographs, first editions, letters, and ephemera is one of the finest and most representative collections of Joyce material in private hands.
This lavishly designed fine arts book is beautifully produced and contains over 150 specially commissioned photographs of the material. It traces how Joyce’s works are connected to one another, and how the modernist literary landscape was altered by their publication. The book offers a definitive tour through the history of his publications that will be a must-have for all Joyce enthusiasts.
Written by Luca Crispi, Associate Professor in James Joyce Studies in the UCD School of English, Drama and Film, and designed and produced by Anne Brady of the award-winning Vermillion Design.
