Joyce changed what a sentence could do, and this deluxe hardbound edition collects the work where that change is clearest.
Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and Ulysses appear together, tracing the path from precise social realism to interior monologue that follows thought as it actually moves. Reading them in sequence shows the technique developing rather than arriving fully formed, which makes the volume as useful for study as it is for pleasure, and the hardbound production suits a set that tends to be reread.
What distinguishes this copy:
• Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and Ulysses in one hardbound set
• The move from realist story collection to full stream-of-consciousness narration
• Joyce's recurring concerns with memory, identity, city life and exile
• A production format intended for a permanent literature shelf
