Papers of James Joyce from the Harley K. Croessmann Collection, 1901-1959.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/180942647

The Croessmann Collection of James Joyce, assembled by Dr. Harley K. Croessmann, contains correspondence by and about Joyce and many manuscripts, notes, galley proofs, photographs, pictorial representations, sculpture, and ephemera, by Joyce and his friends, biographers, and critics. The collection is divided into four parts: the Herbert Gorman Papers, the Georg Goyert Papers, other Croessmann acquisitions, and Dr. Croessman's personal correspondence. The Herbert Gorman Papers contain materials relating to Gorman's 1924 biography of Joyce, including 330 original and transcribed letters, notes, drafts, typescripts, galley proofs, and manuscripts by Joyce and others. The correspondence consists of letters Gorman received from Joyce and others and transcriptions of Joyce letters for the biography. There are thirty letters and cards, dated 1925-1938, from Joyce to Gorman (and his wife), discussing corrections for the biography and for Joyce's manuscript "Sullivan." In addition, the correspondence contains letters from some of Joyce's friends and acquaintances, who helped Gorman by providing their recollections of Joyce and details about Dublin. These correspondents include: Alf Bergan, Harriet Weaver, T.S. Eliot, Arthur Symons, Oliver St. John Gogarty, Stanislaus Joyce, Eugene Jolas, James S. Starkey (Seumas O'Sullivan), and Padraic Colum. Many of the 150 transcriptions of Joyce letters were provided by Joyce's brother Stanislaus Joyce, and include letters from Joyce to his mother, his wife, and to Stanislaus. Though the originals of the Joyce-Stanislaus Joyce correspondence are housed in the Cornell Joyce Collection, some of the originals did not survive, making these transcriptions the only record of the contents of the missing letters. There are other transcribed letters, including some from John Quinn to Ezra Pound and Margaret Anderson about the Little Review--Ulysses obscenity proceedings. The collection contains valuable notes that Herbert Gorman took while reading Joyce's Paris Notebook (1902-1904), the original of which has not been found. The notes record Joyce's notes for Stephen Hero and Dubliners, as well as the author's aesthetic theories, among other material. Joyce's schema for Ulysses is here as are drafts of "From a Banned Writer to a Banned Singer" (originally titled "Sullivan") and "Epilogue to Ibsen's 'Ghosts'." The typescripts and galley proofs of Gorman's biography have autograph corrections by Gorman and suggested corrections by Joyce (in Paul Leon's hand).
