From the Harry Ransom Center:
“Women and the Making of Joyce’s Ulysses, curated by Dr. Clare Hutton of Loughborough University, marks the 100th anniversary of the publication of James Joyce’s famed masterpiece and investigates the important and largely unacknowledged role of women in the book’s realization.
Objects from the Ransom Center’s James Joyce Collection tell the story of the formative role of his family members and, in particular, of four women—Margaret Anderson, Jane Heap, Harriet Shaw Weaver, and Sylvia Beach.
See more than 150 rare objects that tell this story, including a first edition of Ulysses, page proofs for its first printing, original copies of The Little Review, manuscripts in Joyce’s hand, rare books, printed ephemera, and photographs. This exhibition is offered in partnership with the Consulate General of Ireland.
