title: Paul Kieffer

description: Paul KiefferRhodes Scholar, Harvard graduate, and partner in the law firm Quinn, Keiffer and Woodward. Kieffer was the uncle of Helen Kieffer (1905-1958), the young woman who became Lucia Joyce's friend and dance companion in Paris and Deauville in 1922 and 1923.

title: Valery Larbaud

description: Valery LarbaudFrench writer and poet. Larbaud became a friend and admirer of Joyce after they met in 1920, and he loaned the Joyce family a Paris apartment during the summer of 1921. On 7 December 1921, Larbaud famously gave a séance on Ulysses in Adrienne Monnier's Paris bookshop, La Maison des Amis des Livres. Published as an article entitled "James Joyce" in the Nouvelle revue française 18, no. 103 (1 April 1922): 385-409, it was one of the earliest enthusiastic French responses to Joyce's work. Larbaud later supervised the French translation of Ulysses, published in 1929. Joyce's contact with Larbaud diminished in the 1930s, though he remained in touch after Larbaud suffered a stroke in 1935, which resulted in aphasia and partial paralysis.

title: Stanislaus Joyce

description: Stanislaus JoyceLike his brother James, Stanislaus Joyce was Jesuit-educated at Belvedere College (1893-1902) but later became an anti-clerical agnostic and radical liberal. During their years together in Dublin he knew his older brother, whom he regarded as a genius, better than anyone. James discussed his work with him and introduced him to many of his literary friends. Stanislaus recorded a series of descriptions, confessions, narrations, and comments in a sort-of diary for 1903-1905. JJ used episodes and phrases from this account of their wretched family life as well as his brother's unhappy work experiences particularly in Dubliners and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.In 1905, Stanislaus joined JJ and Nora in Trieste where he was to remain for the rest of his life. A conscientious worker, he proved to be the main support of their household. Stanislaus grew to detest his father and how he treated his sisters in Dublin. During WW1, which James spent in Zurich, Stanislaus's outspoken politics and criticism of the clergy led to internment in Austria. The brothers grew apart after the war.In 1927 Stanislaus married Nelly Lichtensteiger, and their son James was born in 1943. Despite becoming an Irish citizen, Stanislaus was confined in Florence during WW2. Later back in Trieste, he worked as an interpreter for the allies and began selling his brother's literary manuscripts which he had hoarded. He made his personal archive available to Richard Ellmann whose biography of JJ (1959) was strongly influenced by Stanislaus's viewpoint. After his death in 1955, his wife sold his personal collection, a valuable documentation of the family background and his brother's early life, to Cornell University. My Brother's Keeper: James Joyce's Early Years was published posthumously in 1958. Tim O'Neill

title: Paul Léon

description: Paul LéonBorn in tsarist Russia where he studied and then taught sociology and philosophy. After the revolution he fled, first to England and then to Paris where he moved in émigré circles that in the thirties included Vladimir Nabokov. He married Lucie who would support the family as a fashion journalist for the New York Herald Tribune, while her husband published translations of letters by the last tsar and his mother, an edition of the letters of Madame de Staël to Benjamin Constant and in 1930 a short biography of Benjamin Constant in "Maîtres des littératures" , a popular series published by Rieder.Léon met JJ in 1928 and he quickly became the writer's secretary for the work on Finnegans Wake and his unpaid legal representative when JJ was engaged in one of his frequent campaigns against presumed enemies or former friends. In the thirties, most of JJ's business administration is in the hand of Léon, and especially in the second half of the decade, Léon functioned as JJ's bulldog. As a result, JJ himself could disappear above and behind his handiwork, while by passing on the writer's not always friendly messages, Léon made enemies, among them T. S. Eliot. After the German invasion, Léon helped JJ and his family escape Paris for Vichy, in the "free" sector of France, but the family returned to the capital because their son had to pass his baccalauréat exams. There they saved JJ's papers and brought them to the Irish embassy, so they ended up in the National Library of Ireland. When JJ's possessions were sold to pay unpaid rent, Léon bought most of them. In August 1941 and despite having been warned by Samuel Beckett and others, Léon was arrested by the Germans and sent to Auschwitz where he was killed. Geert Lernout

title: John George Lidwell

description: John George LidwellDublin solicitor born in Fermanagh and a friend of JJ's father. JJ sought his advice in the summer of 1912 after George Roberts of Maunsel & Co. refused to issue Dubliners without cuts. JJ's letters to Lidwell do not survive. Lidwell had offices at 33 Upper Ormond Quay, a stone's throw from the Ormond Hotel fictionalized in the "˜Sirens' episode of Ulysses and in which the solicitor features. JJ learned of his death in August 1919 from a Freeman's Journal clipping, which he enclosed to Harriet Shaw Weaver as proof of the prophetic power of Ulysses. A few weeks earlier, JJ had told her that "˜[a]s soon as I mention or include any person in it I hear of his or her death or departure or misfortune'. Robert Spoo and Ronan Crowley

title: Edith Rockefeller McCormick

description: Edith Rockefeller McCormickAmerican socialite, philanthropist and Jungian psychoanalyst. Daughter of the millionaire oilman, John D. Rockefeller, Edith married Harold Fowler McCormick in 1895 and, along with her husband, was active in Chicago social and cultural circles. In 1913, the McCormicks moved to Zurich to undertake treatment with Carl Jung; three years later, they were among the founder-funders of the Psychology Club Zurich. Edith resided at the Hotel Baur au Lac for eight years, offering financial support and encouragement to wartime arrivals such as Philipp Jarnach, Otto Luening, Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari, and JJ. Her eighteen-month patronage of JJ in 1918 and 1919 did not quite come out of the blue, however, as he had primed her with gifts of inscribed copies of his works. The ending of her monthly stipend probably stemmed from his refusal to undergo psychoanalysis. Nonetheless, JJ inscribed a copy of the 100 series Ulysses "To Edith Rockefeller / gratefully" on 2 March 1922. Ronan Crowley

title: Monro, Saw & Co.

description: Monro, Saw & Co.A legal practice in London which represented Harriet Shaw Weaver. Frederic John Monro (1841-1903) was in partnership in the 1860s and his son, Frederic Robert d'Ogley Monro, replaced him in the firm around the turn of the century. The business was carrying on as Slack, Monro, Saw & Co. at the time of its first correspondence with JJ when, writing "on behalf of an admirer" (Weaver), the firm informed him of her anonymous gift of £200 (letter of 22 February 1917, LII 389). The practice became Monro, Saw & Co. in 1919, under which name it carried on into the 1950s. As Monro, Wright & Wasbrough, the firm was in business as late as 2021 when it merged with Bishop & Sewell and began operating as Bishop & Sewell LLP incorporating Monro Wright & Wasbrough.

description: Adrienne MonnierParisian bookseller, publisher, editor, and poet. She opened her bookshop, "Maison des amis des livres" , in 1915; it became a magnet for contemporary French writers such as Claudel, Larbaud, Fargue, Gide, and Valéry. Monnier encouraged Sylvia Beach to open a bookshop in 1919, which led to her acquaintance with JJ. Her literary review, Le Navire d'argent, published JJ's "From Work in Progress" (2, no. 5 [1 October 1925], 59-74). Monnier was the organizer and eventually publisher of the French translation of Ulysses, appearing first as fragments in Commerce (1, i [Summer 1924], 121-58), and then as the entire Ulysse (Paris: La Maison des Amis des Livres, Adrienne Monnier, 1929). She sided with Sylvia Beach in the rupture with JJ in the early 1930s. Following a period of serious illness, Monnier committed suicide in 1955. William Brockman
