First edition of Joseph Campbell and Henry Morton Robinson's A Skeleton Key to Finnegans Wake
First edition of Campbell and Robinson's guide to Joyce's Finnegans Wake. Octavo, original cloth. Ownership inscription. In very good condition.
The authors state in their preface to the present volume, "Finnegans Wake is above all else an essay in permanence. From its perspective, the hopeful or fearful may learn to behold with a vast sympathy the prodigious upsurging and dissolution of forms, the continual transvaluation of values, the inevitable ambiguities, which are the stuff of life and history. Through notes that finally become tuneable to our ears, we hear James Joyce uttering his resilient, all-enjoying, all-animating 'Yes', the Yes of things yet to come, a Yes from beyond every zone of disillusionment, such as few have had the heart to utter."
