Description

Limited edition of the beautiful Finnegans Wake prose-poem

Signed book: Anna Livia Plurabelle. Limited edition edition, numbered 730/800. NY: Crosby Gaige, 1928. Hardcover, 4.75 x 7, 61 pages. Crisply signed on the colophon in fountain pen, "James Joyce." Autographic condition: fine. Book condition: VG/None. The first version of Anna Livia Plurabelle was published in 1925 as a part of Joyce's 'Work in Progress,' which evolved into his monumental 1939 work Finnegans Wake. This 'Anna Livia Plurabelle' section, which would appear as the eighth chapter in book one, is regarded as one of the most beautiful prose-poems in the English language and has earned the most critical praise of any portion of Finnegans Wake. An absolutely wonderful limited edition.
