Hardcover. In 1929, ten years before James Joyce completed Finnegans Wake, Sylvia Beach published a strange book with a stranger title: Our Exagmination Round His Factification for Incamination of Work in Progress. Worried by the confusion and attacks that constituted the general reception of his ‘Work in Progress’ (the working title for Finnegans Wake), Joyce orchestrated this collection of twelve essays and two ‘letters of protest’ from such writers as Samuel Beckett, Stuart Gilbert, Eugene Jolas, Robert McAlmon, and William Carlos Williams. Eighty years later, Joyce’s Disciples Disciplined reads the Exagmination as an integral part of the larger composition history and interpretive context of Finnegans Wake itself.
