INTRODUCTION

To praise the scope of the collection of James Joyce manuscripts

now pa rt of the Lockwood M em oria l L ib rar y of the U nivers ity of

Buffalo would certainly be redundant, since the reader need only turn

to the catalogue that follows to be immediately convinced of the im-

m ea su rab le im po rtance of this collection. Even a brief look at the

tab le of co nten ts w ill show how much th er e i s . But although one is

quickly impressed by the size of the collection, its qualitative im-

po rtan ce cannot be com preh end ed so rea di ly. The im po rt of the Buf-

falo manuscripts has still to be measured and digested to be fully

appreciated a task which Joy ce sc ho lars have been working on and

will continue to concern themselves with for many years.

The manuscripts which comprise the Joyce Collection of the Uni-

versity of Buffalo were acquired from three different sources. The

ini tial ac qu isition , which ar ri v e d in Buffalo in the autumn of 1950, was

pu rch ase d at the exposition of Joyce m at er ia ls of the L ib ra irie La

Hune in P a ri s through the gift of M arg are tta F. W ickser, to whose

husband, the late Philip J. Wickser, the collection was dedicated as a

memoria l . The La Hune mater ia ls ,

1

consisting of manuscripts, let-

t e r s ,

paintings, personal effects, and the personal library of James

Jo yc e, w ere origin ally left by Joyce in P a ri s on his flight from that

city in the winter of 1939 and cared for during the German occupation

by Joyce's fr iend Paul Leon and his brother-in-law Alexander Poni-

zowski, both of whom died at the hands of the Nazis.

The second m ajor po rtion of the Buffalo Joy ce C ollection, co ns ist-

ing of manuscripts, letters, and books, was acquired through the gen-

er os ity of an anonym ous ben efactor and friend of the U nivers ity in

the winter of 1959 from Miss Sylvia Beach, the publisher of the first

edition of Ulysses.

A th ird portio n of the Buffalo Jo yce Collection, consistin g of let-

t e r s ,

proo fs, and e rr a ta , was donated in May of 1951 and Dece m ber

of 1959 by B . W. Hu ebsch , the w ell-know n pu blis he r now connected

with the Viking Press.

'Unfortunately, th ree item s w ere lost in tra ns it from P ar is to Buffalo: La

Hune i tem s 254, 305, 307, a m anu scrip t of "T he Scylla & Charybdis" episode

of Ulysses, and proofs for "F ro m a Banned W riter to a Banned Sin ge r" and

"De Honni-soi t a mal-y-chance."

vii i Jam es Joy ce 's M anuscr ipts and L et te rs

n

I have grouped the manuscripts of the Buffalo Joyce Collection

(workbooks, notebooks, sketc hes , sc he m as, no tes, ea rly and late

drafts , fair copies, typescripts, galley proofs, page proofs, errata,

t ransla t ions , and le t ters) in to ten major categor ies : "Epiphanies ,"

"A Por t ra i t o f the Ar t i s t as a Young Man," "Exi les , " "Verses , "

" U l y s s e s , " " F i n n e g a n s W a k e , " " C r i t i c i s m , " " N o t e b o o k s , " " M i s -

cellaneous M anu scr ipts ," and "L et te rs from J o yc e. " In gen eral , the

items in the collection fit naturally into one of the ten categories, but

a few items could be placed in more than one category, e.g., MS. VIII.

A. 5., one of the "Z u ric h N oteb oo ks," in which many en tr ie s occu r

which w ere eventually used in the com pos ition of Ulysses. Although

this m anuscript could have been catalogued under the " U ly s s e s "

category, I came to the conclusion that it was a closer relative to the

"Z uric h Notebooks "fam ily. Such borde r l ine c ase s w ere surpr is ing ly

few, when we con side r how interw oven and inte rde pe nd en t al l of

Jo yc e's w orks a re . In gen eral , I have let common sen se be my guide,

and have refrained from lengthy justifications which, I feel, would

only have added nee dless note s, footnotes, and co m plicatio ns to an

already bulky study.

I have described each manuscript by 1) giving its physical de-

scrip tion ; 2) briefly d esc ribin g and identifying its co nte nts ; 3) noting

its date of composition, or if no date is given (a problem in most

manuscripts) basing my dating on internal evidence (addresses, marks

of stationers, handwriting, or comparisons of entries with published

tex ts in pe rio dic als and books); 4) indicating its pub lication (when ap -

prop riate); 5) noting other m arking s of im portan ce (such a s Jo yc e' s

extensive u se of colore d cra yo ns) . W henever po ssib le I have us ed a

standard format in the desc ription of a m an us crip t, pre sen ting the

pertinent facts under the following categories:

title, collation,pagina-

tion,

contents, other markings .dating, publication, and notes. The ab-

sence of a category from the de scrip tion of a MS. item m ea ns that i t

is either inapplicable or that the answ er is neg ative. Also I have not

hesitated to depart from this format when a manuscript could be bet-

ter or more compactly described in another way.

m

De scribing the ma nu scrip ts and le tt e rs , which is the task of a ca t-

aloguer, has, of c ou rse, impo sed cer tain l im its on my work. T h er e-

fore I have made no attem pt to edit the Buffalo Joy ce m a te ri a ls or to

show their full significance, but have restricted myself to presenting

only that information about a manuscript which points to its dating,

its identity, or its obvious use by Joyce.

Introduction ix

Because Joyce dated very few of his manuscripts, I have exercised

considerable effort in attempting to date the items catalogued, a fas-

cinating task but an extremely difficult one, since concise dating

would entail editing the manuscripts rather than cataloguing them.

Thus, I have had to be satisfied with showing the rough boundary

lines of dating, rather than going on to pinpoint the exact date of each

m an usc ript. The mo st difficult of all the ma nu scr ipts to date w ere

the "Finnegans Wake Workbooks."

2

Most of my speculation in dating

these notebooks is based on internal evidence, on finding the first

ap pe ara nc e of a ph ra se or wo rd taken from a workbook in the pub-

lished portions of "Work in Progress." In my dating of the Ulysses

manuscripts, I have rel ied chiefly on references in Joyce's let ters to

the com position of the e pisode s of this novel. All "p rop ose d d a te s "

are indicated by

ca.

In giving the p ublication of m an us cr ip ts, I have liste d only com -

ple te pub lication of an item . I have not indic ated pa rti al publication

or ex ce rpt s from the Buffalo m an us crip ts quoted by those cr iti cs who

have alr ea dy m ade us e of the Buffalo m at e ri al s (e.g., although David

Hayman in Joyce et Mallarme quotes two pag es from MS. VIII. B .,

"Quad erno di Jam es Jo y ce ," I have considered the m anuscr ipts as

being "unpubl ished") .

The "Notes" sections contain that information which could not

conveniently be included in another pla ce. These notes have been kept

to a minim um . Usually, the fir st " N o te " of a category is the m ost

detailed and should be consulted when examining other items in that

ca teg ory (e.g., when working with one of the "F inn eg an s Wake Holo-

graph Workbooks," MSS. VI. B.1.-50., the reader is advised to con-

sult the "Notes" of MS. VI. B. 1.).

The stan da rd form at adopted for the desc ription of the manu-

sc ri p ts is gre atly m odified in the listing of Jo yc e's le tt e rs , MSS. X.

A.-K ., which a re catalogued in the following m ann er: The le tte rs to

each recip ient a re grouped separately and arra ng ed in chronological

o rd er . The salutation and opening of ea ch le tte r ar e given for the pu r-

pose of identification; but the opening phrase is in no way intended to

summarize the let ter or to indicate i ts subject matter . When a let ter

or po stc ard is dated, the date is given in stan dar d form : day, month,

y ea r. A date in sq ua re br ac ke ts is base d upon definite interna l evi-

dence.

A

w ell-educa ted g ue ss is indicated by ca. and square brack-

e t s . When a dating i s ba sed on a hunch, it is followed by a question

m ark and enclosed in squ are brac ke ts. A few undated let te rs ar e

labeled "not dated" and are filed after the dated letters. The

sender 's (Joyce's) address is ci ted in the same manner as the date

whenever possible. Published let ters are identif ied as such.

See "Notes" of MS. VI. B. 1. for a fuller discussion of their dating.

x Ja m es Joy ce 's M anuscripts and Le t ters

Although the title of this work indicates that what follows is a cat-

alogue of Jam es Jo yc e's m anu scripts and let te rs only, i t may be us e-

ful to clarify this point a little furth er by briefly listin g th e J oy ce

material which is not included. The Ja m es Joy ce Co llection of the

University of Buffalo co ns ists of much m ore than Joy ce 's m an us cri pts

and le tte rs ; pa rts of the collection, not catalogued h er e, a r e l et te rs

to Joyce, letters about Joyce, paintings, photographs, press clippings,

Joy ce 's personal P ar is l ibrary ,

4

other books and pe rio di ca ls in which

Jo yc e's works a ppea red, notebooks and draw ings of hi s daughter

Lucia Joyce, and personal i tems and memorabil ia.

IV

It is the pu rpos e of th is ca talogue and the hope of th is co m pi ler

that the present study will, by ordering and describing the manu-

scripts at Buffalo, underline the scope of the collection, make the

materials more readily available, and facilitate the work of Joyce

sc ho lars . The Joyce Collection not only offers cr it ic s much unpub-

lished and unsifted m at er ia l for the explication and ex am ination of

Joy ce's individual wo rks, but also offers the raw m ate rial ne ce ss ar y

for a detai led exploration of Jo yc e's cre ativ e pr oc es s. The need for

such an exploration, especially in regard to Finnegans Wake, is indi-

cated since much spade work still needs to be done before that work

can be fully un derstoo d and cr iti ci se d . The whole Buffalo Jo yc e Co l-

lection, dealing with Jo y ce 's life and w ork s from 1900 throug h 1940,

lends itself tow ard this end; not only the m an u sc rip ts that d eal di -

rectly with Finnegans Wake but also those pertaining to other works,

since to understand the last work of Joyce one must first understand

Joyce 's ear l ier methods and works.

For exam ple, it bec om es app arent that the method of cr ea tio n of

Finnegans Wake

does not differ gr ea tly fro m that of

Ulysses.

B a s i c -

ally, in both Ulysses and Finnegans Wake, Joyce ' s p rocess of com-

position is one of constant addition and expansion.

"The early drafts of

Finnegans Wake

are written in approxim ately s tand-

ard E nglish. They ar e amazingly dull, discontinuous, and read as d is tr e s s -

ingly as any dozen pages of

A Skeleton Key.

Instead of being what Lam b ca lls

'beautiful bare narratives, ' these early drafts are meagre and embryonic.

They are little more than framework, rough and spare (Joyce hardly ever

blotted a framework), and, strangely enough, they are more obscure than the

[his sto ry] to un ive rsa l form , before procee ding to lengthen it out by

the insert ion of episodes." This is Joyce's method. Yet he lengthens,

exp and s, and add s to the le ve ls of m eaning of his w ork not only by the

ins erti on of episo des but also , and pe rha ps chiefly, by the inse rtion

of additional ide as, detai ls , ph ra se s, and wo rds, wo rds, w ords. What

is unique about Joyce's method of composition is the amount of ex-

pansion which takes place between the early core and the final draft,

and m or e specifically, the numb er of p hr as es and words which ar e

woven into, over, around, on top of, and in between the framework.

As unique and even more startling is Joyce's source for these addi-

t ions.

The "Finnegans Wake Workbooks" (MSS. VI. A.,B.,C. ,D.) are

probably the strangest manuscripts in existenceeven for so strange

a book as Finnegans Wake. A first examination revea ls no apparen t

orga nization to them ; no method, only m ad ne ss. Yet it was from these

seemingly unorganized sou rce books, consist ing alm ost exclusively

of words and short phrases, which in most instances seem to have no

logical connection with each other or with any specific section of

"W ork in P r o g r e s s ," that Joyce drew his m yriad addit ions , without

hesitatio n and with what would app ear to be no disc rim inatio n. Quite

obviously the appearance of disorganization and blind selection can-

not be a tru e p ict ur e. Com petent c ri tic s have shown us thatFinnegans

Wake is not a chaotic work but ra th er a tightly organized and m ost

labo riously and carefully con struc ted, convoluted whole. Th eref ore,

the app aren t d iso rd er and lack of organ ization of these workbooks is

a false impression. Where the reader of the workbooks stumbles and

bom binates through what se em s to be utte r blac kn ess, Joyc e danced

and skipped with ease. What to us seems chaos was neatness and

method to Joy ce. To us , Jo yc e' s filing cabinet see m s un reliab le and

unusable, but in these notebooks Joyce could locate an idea, a phrase,

or even a word with speed and accuracy.

6

We can get a glimmer of

the method in his use of colored crayons, by which he indicated those

phrases and words he had pulled out of the workbooks and used in the

drafts of Finnegans Wake. We can see ano ther p ar t of his method in

the e ighteen V I. C. notebooks in which Jo yc e had his am an ue ns is copy

published version of Finnegans Wake. Apparently, there were two stages in

the composition of

Finnegans Wake.

First Joyce made his strong, unbeautiful

framew ork; then grad ually he gave it beauty, c olo r, and significance by turning

it into his peculiar language. . . ." Glasheen,

xii Jam es Joy ce 's M anuscr ipts and L et te rs

those portions of his workbooks which were not crossed through with

colored crayon and there fore not used. Yet we a re still am azed , and

pe rha ps still not entir ely convinced of the or d er and logic of Jo y c e 's

method. Th is, I believe, is in pa rt caused by our am aze m en t and

puzzlement with

Finnegans Wake

itself.

Had thes e workbooks been

intended for use in Ulysses, a work which we can m ore eas ily un de r-

stand, we would more readily accept and even comprehend Joyce's

filing cabinet. And it is in thi s connection that we can ap pr ec iat e the

relationship of the various portions of the Buffalo Joyce Collection.

For although the "Finnegans Wake Workbooks" are undeniably for

use in Finnegans Wake, they can be compared to a number of the

Ulysses notebooks which are part of the Buffalo Collection.

The resem blance between three of the " U ly sse s N otebo oks" (MSS.

V. A. 2., V. A. 4., VIII. A. 5.) and the "F in ne g an s Wake W or kb oo ks "

is sta rtlin g. H ere too Joy ce ha s jotted down not only ide as and ea rly

drafts of portions of

Ulysses,

but also ph ras es and w ords. H ere too

Joyce has used colored crayons to indicate when he has pulled a

phrase or a word out of the filing cabinet and inserted it into a draft

of the novel. It now beco m es apparen t that not only is Jo y ce 's ov er -

all method of composition that of expansion and addition, the same in

Ulysses and Finnegans Wake, but we can also see that his use of

workbooks was not an innovation created to fit the vastness and com-

plexity of Finnegans Wake. On the contrary, the same use of work-

books seems to have been part of the Entstehungsgeschichte of

Ulysses.

Let the above brief example serve merely as a hint of the value of

the m an usc ripts in the Buffalo Collection. A full and tr ue ap pr ec ia -

tion of the collection will come to light only through its continued

use by Joyce sc ho lar s. With this aim in mind, I have und ertake n the

task of briefly charting and laying out for inspection a portion of the

Joycean labyrinth, since it is hoped that these manuscripts, when ex-

am ined in deta il, will offer a key to the b et te r un de rsta nd ing of the

"hides and hints and misses in prints" (FW 20.11) in the writings of

the most controversial f igure of twentieth-century l i terature.

I gratefully acknowledge the guidance of Professor Oscar A. Sil-

verm an, Direc tor of L ib ra rie s and Chairm an of the D epa rtm ent of

B eca use of the siz e of the Buffalo Jo yce m an us crip t collection

(approximately 450 items, 20,000 written pages), the varying degrees

of illegibility of Joyce's handwriting, the limited amount of time I

was able to devote to this work (roughly four years), and the natural

l im itat ions of eye s and m em ory, I have without doubt made e r r o r s ,

both of omission and commission, in this catalogue. I hope that I have

been able to keep e r r o r s to a minimum and that those which rem ain

readers who have spotted any errors, so that I may incorporate these

corrections into a second edition of this catalogue should such a re-

Pagination: Pages numbered 1-18 in margins in pencil, Joyce's hand;

pp. [19-28] not numbered.

Contents: Draft of "Proteus" (Episode III, RH 38-51). Wide margin

of each page used for insertions and additions. "Early, complete

Other Markings: Name of stationer printed on front cover label, " D.

pages: p. 13, several words in margin crossed through with blue

crayon; p. 7, word in margin crossed through with red crayon.

Dating: October 1917January 1918, during Joyce's brief stay in Lo-

Publication: This MS. and the other "Ulysses Holograph MSS." are

unpublished. Final drafts published as part of Ulysses (Paris:

Shakespeare and Company, 1922). (For publications of sections of

Ulysses,

prior to the first edition of 1922, in

The Little Review

and

The Egoist, see Slocum & Cahoon, pp. 97-98).

Notes: The published version follows this draft closely; correspond-

ence in texts can be seen paragraph by paragraph. Therefore, MS.

seems to be a late rather than an early draft.

MS. begins, "Ineluctable modality of the visible: it must be

that at least if no more . . . " Note in top margin, "seasedge

Cristhaven strand, was I there?"

MS.

ends on p. 18, " . . . passing to silently, on towards Dublin,

silently, upstream, silently moving a silent ship."

P . [19] bears the number " 8 " in margin; the seven lines on that

page are an insert for p. 15 of MS. (RH 49.8-12).

Notes: The published versions follow this draft closely; correspond-

ence in texts can be seen paragraph by paragraph. Additions, in-

sertions, and corrections in published texts consist mostly of

words and phrases, although a few passages were also added, e.g.,

the "Tap. Tap. Tap." of the "unseeing stripling," piano tuner.

Since the MS. consists of only the last half of the " Sirens" episode

(pages numbered 21-33), it can be assumed that another MS. of the

first half of the episode existed (pages numbered 1-20).

MS.

begins, "Sang 'Twas Rank and Fame. Mr Bloom listened

while Richie Goulding told him, Mr Bloom, about of the night . . . "

MS. ends on p. 33, " . . . Let my epitaph be written. Kraaaa. I

have. Pprrpfrrppffff. Done."

Verso of twelfth leaf has insert of eight lines.

MacHugh and young Dedalus are present.
