  • 'A True Magic Chamber': the Public Face of the Modernist Bookshop
    ‘A True Magic Chamber’: The Public Face of the Modernist Bookshop Andrew Thacker Modernist Cultures 11.3 (2016): 429–451 DOI: 10.3366/mod.2016.0149 © Edinburgh University Press www.euppublishing.com/loi/mod Abstract This article explores the role of bookshops in the construction of a public for modernism and analyses a number of bookshops committed to promoting modernist culture, such as those run by Sylvia Beach (Shakespeare and Company), Adrienne Monnier (La Maison des Amis des Livres), and Frances Steloff (Gotham Book Mart). It also considers how the bookshop is a fulcrum between commerce and culture, a key issue for contemporary modernist studies, and discusses aspects of bookshop culture that seem to operate ‘beyond’ the market. One example is that of We Moderns, a catalogue issued by the Gotham Book Mart in 1940 and which represents a fascinating example of the print culture of the modernist bookshop. Drawing upon the work of Mark Morrisson and Lawrence Rainey, the article also evaluates the position of the bookshop within debates around modernism and the public sphere. The Business of the Magic Chamber A member of the public strolling through Paris in the early 1920s who drifts onto the Left Bank in search of culture, might find themselves in the triangle of small streets between the grander avenues of Boulevard St. Michel and the Boulevard St. Germain in the 6th Arrondissement. These are the streets around the Sorbonne and, as such, there are many bookshops servicing the university. Thinking it might be fun to buy a book, a modern or contemporary book, they stroll up Rue de l'Odéon, across from the National Theatre, spying a likely looking bookshop and decide to enter.

  • Dial M for Marianne: the Dial’S Refusals of ‘Work in Progress’
    GENETIC JOYCE STUDIES – Issue 15 (Spring 2015) Dial M for Marianne: The Dial’s Refusals of ‘Work in Progress’ Ronan Crowley University of Passau Joyce was extremely anxious to introduce his heroine to readers in the United States. Aiming high, I sent her off to the Dial, hoping its editor, Marianne Moore, would find her attractive. I was glad to get word that the Dial had accepted the work, but it turned out that this was a mistake. It had come in when Miss Moore was away, and she was reluctant to publish it. The Dial didn’t back out altogether. I was told, however, that the text would have to be considerably cut down to meet the requirements of the magazine. Now Joyce might have considered the possibility of expanding a work of his, but never, of course, of whittling it down. On the other hand, I couldn’t blame the Dial for its prudence in dealing with a piece so full of rivers that they might have been overflooded at 152 West Thirteenth Street. I was sorry about ‘A.L.P.’s’ failure to make the Dial. Joyce, who was still in Belgium, was not surprised. ‘Why did you not bet with me?’ he wrote. ‘I should have won something.’ He added that he regretted the loss of a ‘strategical position’. Joyce always looked upon his Finnegans Wake as a kind of battle.1 In this characteristically muddled account, Sylvia Beach provides the canonical version of ‘Work in Progress’s’ rejection by the Dial. Implicit in her reference to rivers and the witty image of the flooded Greenwich Village office, explicit in the inclusion of its title is Beach’s conviction that at issue was the ‘Anna Livia Plurabelle’ section (I.8) of the Wake.

  • Bricktop and Sylvia Beach in Interwar Paris. (Under the Direction of Dr
    ABSTRACT BILLHEIMER, SARAH GRACE. Champagne and Shakespeare: Bricktop and Sylvia Beach in Interwar Paris. (Under the direction of Dr. Katherine Mellen Charron.) The names “Bricktop” and “Sylvia Beach” appear sprinkled throughout histories of the expatriate experience of Paris in the 1920s and ‘30s. Bricktop’s nightclubs on the Right Bank of the Seine River, and Shakespeare and Company, Sylvia Beach’s bookshop on the river’s Left Bank, served as two of the most popular gathering places for Paris’s native and foreign residents. Sylvia Beach is well-represented in scholarly studies of the Lost Generation of writers, artists, and intellectuals, and was the subject of a lengthy biography, but Bricktop has received less serious attention. This thesis compares and contrasts her life with that of her contemporary Sylvia Beach, in an attempt to establish Bricktop as Beach’s equal in the position of hostess to the City of Light’s illustrious expatriates. Relying on archival sources, each woman’s own published account of her life in Paris, the published letters and remembrances of fellow expatriates, and related secondary sources, this study thus also challenges the simplistic divisions that have crept into our common conceptions of interwar Paris. Literary memoirs like Ernest Hemingway’s A Moveable Feast, or even scholarly treatments such as William A. Shack’s chronicle Harlem in Montmartre: A Paris Jazz Story Between the Great Wars, have contributed to a stratified portrait of Paris’s expatriate community, often separated according to gender, race, class, profession, and location. While such distinctions certainly did exist, examining the lives and careers of Bricktop and Sylvia Beach reveals a fascinating, and more complicated network of social and commercial connections among the various sets of international celebrities in Paris than we have usually acknowledged.

  • Valery Larbaud Et Le Groupe De L'odéon
    VALERY LARBAUD ET LE GROUPE DE L'ODÉON MARIBEL CORBÍ SÁEZ Universidad de Alicante RESUMEN El París de principios de siglo fue el escenario de una intensa actividad artística e intelectual en todos los généros. Gran número de artistas, ávidos de libertad, acudieron a la ciudad de las luces en busca de un ambiente propicio a la creación y contribuyeron junto a sus colegas franceses a la renovación de las artes. Muy a menudo se oye hablar de los grandes como Picasso, Poulenc, Valéry o Joyce y sin embargo poco se dice de aquellas personas que hicieron posible su advenimiento a la fama. En el área de literatura y en especial en los años veinte hubo dos mujeres y un hombre -Adrienne Monnier, Sylvia Beach y Valéry Larbaud- que contribuyeron al éxito de muchos autores. El "riche amateur" al timón del barco "Odéonie" permitió al grupo de l'Odéon navegar sobre el immenso océano de una literatura sin frontera. Palabras clave: Larbaud, Monnier, Beach, Odéon, Modernismo. RÉSUMÉ Paris en début de siècle fut la scène d'une intense activité intellectuelle et artistique dans tous les domaines. Grand nombre d'artistes, avides de liberté, arrivaient à la ville des lumières à la recherche d'une atmosphère propice à la création et contribuèrent aux côtés de leurs collègues français au renouveau des arts. Bien souvent nous entendons parler des grands comme Picasso, Valéry ou Joyce, et cependant ceux qui per- mirent leur avènement à la gloire sont restés pratiquement dans l'ombre. Dans le domaine littéraire, et en par- ticulier dans les années vingt, il y eut deux femmes et un homme -Adrienne Monnier, Sylvia Beach et Valéry Larbaud- qui contribuèrent au succès de maints auteurs.

  • Adrienne Monnier Ou Le Commerce De L'esprit
    Adrienne Monnier ou le commerce de l’esprit L’histoire littéraire est pleine de héros. Pour n’effleurer que la France, écoutez les échos que produisent, aux côtés de ces personnages de papier que sont Pantagruel, Phèdre, Saint-Preux, Charlus, Claudine, Nadja, Aurélien, Bardamu, Lol V. Stein, les noms bien réels de Rabelais, Montaigne, Racine, Rousseau, Flaubert, Colette, Proust, Aragon, Céline, Duras, Modiano, Ernaux, Echenoz, mais aussi Calmann-Lévy, Corti, Flammarion, Grasset, Gallimard… Galerie vivace, grouillante, traversée de compagnonnages, d’amitiés et de rivalités féroces, de jalousies mortelles comme de solidarités d’exception. Ce monde saturé de patronymes et d’épopées éditoriales, dont les historiens fouillent inlassablement les archives et détaillent le récit, a aussi ses personnages intermédiaires. Ni tout à fait dans l’ombre, ni tout à fait dans la lumière, entre la rue sur laquelle donnent leurs vitrines et l’arrière-boutique où s’amoncellent les cartons du dernier office, les libraires sont ces figures de l’entre-deux, passeurs, intercesseurs, au beau milieu de l’univers du livre et de la circulation des savoirs. Observez leurs manœuvres. Regardez-les faire. Écoutez leurs conseils. Discutez avec eux. Dans cette histoire littéraire pleine de figures bruyantes, ces personnages le plus souvent anonymes ne sont secondaires que dans la mesure où, précisément, ils secondent, à savoir qu’ils aident, relaient, transmettent, établissent des passerelles et des liens, aussi discrets et déterminants que les verbes justement dits auxiliaires de notre grammaire. La librairie – espace et fonction – serait ce qu’en chimie comme en électronique on nomme une interface, à savoir une « surface de contact entre deux milieux », « un dispositif qui permet la communication et l’échange entre différents acteurs ».

  • The Textual State of James Joyce's Ulysses
    LAST WORD IN ART SHADES: THE TEXTUAL STATE OF JAMES JOYCE’S ULYSSES Kelly Lynn Tully-Needler Submitted to the faculty of the University Graduate School in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts in the Department of English, Indiana University December 2007 Accepted by the Faculty of Indiana University, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. __________________________________ Kenneth W. Davis, Ph.D., Chair Master’s Thesis Committee __________________________________ Jonathan R. Eller, Ph.D. __________________________________ William F. Touponce, Ph.D. ii DEDICATION For James Joyce iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS It is not customary to thank the dead, but I am the beneficiary of so many who came before: Frank Budgen, John Yeats, William Butler Yeats, Ezra Pound, Harriet Shaw Weaver, Margaret Anderson, Jane Heap, John Quinn, John Rodker, Sylvia Beach, Adrienne Monnier, Maurice Darantiere, Robert McAlmon, Ernest Hemingway, Paul Léon, Morris Ernst, Alexander Lindey, and Justice John Woolsey. In so many ways, these individuals made Ulysses possible, and their work was an odyssey equal the epic struggle and the beloved modern epic by James Joyce. The artist and his advocates struggled against institutions and against the time-bound biases of moral judgment. In a strange replay of that early twentieth-century scandal, the editors, advisors, and administrators of the critical edition of Ulysses endured a scandal at the end of the twentieth century. Ulysses is a difficult work even with a reliable text; thank you Richard Ellmann, Clive Hart, Philip Gaskell, Peter du Sautoy, Wolfhard Steppe, Claus Melchior, Michael Groden, and A.

  • Dissertation Compiled
    AudioTextual: Modernism, Sound Recordings, and Networks of Reception Brandon Michael Walsh Newport News, Virginia Bachelor of Arts with Distinction, University of Virginia, 2009 Master of Arts, University of Virginia, 2011 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of English University of Virginia May 2016 i Abstract Recent studies of the relationship between literary modernism and mass culture have focused on print and periodical forms as evidence of modernism’s deep and complex engagement with both its narrow circle of initiates and a wider audience. But print was not the only mode in which its audience received and reacted to these difficult works of literature: authors often recorded readings in their own voices years or even decades later, and these recordings offered new opportunities for listeners to engage with the materials. AudioTextual aims to reorient the conversation around literary modernism towards this often heard but little discussed audio archive by examining how Anglo- American modernists engaged with new devices for sound recording and the threats and opportunities these media offered for community, the page, and the embodied voice. The project at once shows the still unrecognized extent of the modernist encounter with new technologies of sound and listens closely to audio recordings of modernist works as they form a network of modernist distribution and reception that transcends accounts limited by genre and nation. My work examines sound recording and Anglo-American literary modernism through re-readings of key texts and close listenings of recordings by James Joyce, Langston Hughes, Virginia Woolf, and amateur readers of the same.
