FIRST AMERICAN EDITION of Joyce’s only extant play, written in Trieste in 1914 and 1915, and with a structure that resembles those of the plays of Ibsen that Joyce admired. Joyce intentionally waited to publish the play until after A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man had been published in book form. Slocum and Calhoun A14.
