First edition, one of 150 large paper copies on Verge D'Arches. One of the greatest works of literature of the twentieth century, "Ulysses" can be viewed as the pinnacle of the Modernist movement, and its impact on all subsequent western literature is unmistakable. Such writers as Virginia Woolf, John Dos Passos, William Faulkner, Samuel Beckett, Malcolm Lowry, and Anthony Burgess have all paid tribute to Joyce's influence. The first edition was printed in a total number of 1000 copies, in three limitation states: an edition of 100 copies (signed) on Dutch handmade paper, an edition of 150 large paper copies, and a regular edition of 750 copies.
