Description
James Joyce Stephen Hero Publisher Jonathan Cape. The original draft of “A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man” was thrown in the fire by James Joyce, after a domestic scene. His sister, Eileen, rescued most of it and a fragment was later bought for the Library of Harvard University. The draft is extremely valuable to all students of the works of James Joyce. It differs considerably from the final published version. It includes characters and incidents which were later cut for the sake of compression. Since the war, a further fragment of the original manuscript has come to light and has been added to the present edition with explanatory notes and a new foreword. Excellent condition. 1st edition.
