title: Louis Gillet

description: Louis GilletFrench art historian, member of the Académie française who also published about English literature. For the prestigious and conservative French magazine Revue des deux mondes he wrote mostly about art history, but he also published a number of articles about JJ's work that the writer appreciated because it validated his work in a French context that was decidedly not part of the avant-garde.Gillet studied at the prestigious Ecole normale supérieure in Paris where he befriended Charles Péguy and Romain Rolland. He published on the history of art, books for which he received prizes from the Académie française which made him a member in 1935. He had books on medieval art, but also on Watteau and Monet, on Raphael, on Saint Francis and on religious art.At the Revue des deux mondes, Gillet was responsible for foreign literature, which is why he published an essay on JJ in 1925. As he himself explained later on, this mostly negative response to Ulysses was influenced by his British friend Edmund Gosse, who had dismissed JJ as a pornographer. JJ welcomed the article because it acknowledged his work from outside the radical circle of French literature as in the Nouvelle revue française. The two were introduced by Sylvia Beach early in 1931 and became quite close: in the same year he published a very positive essay in Revue des deux mondes on "Work in Progress," which he compared with Dante's Divine Comedy, although privately he did not like Finnegans Wake when it was finally published in 1939. After the author's death in 1941, Gillet collected the essays in Stèle pour Joyce, a little book on JJ. Geert Lernout

title: H. W. Glover

description: H. W. GloverBookseller at 114 Leadenhall Street in London from which JJ ordered several books. The son of a builder, Glover worked in clerical jobs before being taken on as a bookseller's assistant, probably in William Glaisher's "remainder and discount" bookshop, High Holborn. In 1904 he married Glaisher's daughter Alice, and soon established his own "publishers' remainders" bookshop in Leadenhall Street. By 1935 he had moved the business to nearby Creechurch Lane; in 1940 he signed a deed of assignment with creditors and appeared to stop trading. He died in 1958, leaving effects of about £1,200.

title: Oliver St John Gogarty

description: Oliver St John GogartyBorn in Dublin the eldest son of surgeon Henry Gogarty and his wife Margaret (née Oliver), he was educated initially by the Christian Brothers and later attended Jesuit schools including Clongowes. He studied medicine at Trinity College Dublin 1897-1904 and became well-known as a champion cyclist and swimmer. He won prizes for poetry and his Rabelaisian verses (such as "The Ballad of Joking Jesus" ) circulated widely. Gogarty met JJ in 1901. They were good friends for a while and in 1904 shared the Martello Tower in Sandycove for a few weeks. Later, JJ came to believe that Gogarty was conspiring against him, while Gogarty saw his portrayal in Ulysses as a betrayal of their friendship. JJ's literary portrayal of him did, in fact, seriously affect his reputation as a respectable surgeon and senator and continues to irritate aficionados of his writings. Gogarty was a close friend of Arthur Griffith's and an advocate of his policies. After the latter's death, he strongly supported W. T. Cosgrave and his government and was an active member of the Senate of the Irish Free State from 1922 to 1936. During this time, he maintained a busy, highly regarded medical practice in Dublin and hosted an influential salon while continuing to write poetry that was admired by W. B. Yeats. De Valera's Ireland was not to Gogarty's liking, and in 1939, he moved permanently to the USA where he made a living from journalism and lecturing. Apart from poetry, he is noted for his reminiscences and the memoirs As I was going down Sackville Street (1937) and Tumbling in the Hay (1939). Ironically, today Oliver St John Gogarty is best remembered as Buck Mulligan, a character created by the writer whom he once called "an unlovable and lonely man" . Tim O'Neill

description: Rudolf GoldschmidtFriend of JJ in Zurich. Born in Austria, he moved to Zurich in 1903 and married Gemma Weiss (a sister of JJ's friend Ottocaro Weiss) in 1913. Goldschmidt met JJ in 1916 and, as a member of a "Hilfsverein" , an organization established to benefit expatriate citizens from Austro-Hungary, in November 1917 he supplied an office typewriter that Claud Sykes used to type JJ's up the early episodes of Ulysses. This inspired JJ's dubious gesture of appreciation in the parodic poem, "A Goldschmidt Swam in a Kriegsverein" (Gorman 248-49) Goldschmidt later emigrated to the United States, where he lived for years in New York.

He became a representative of the Rhein-Verlag in Paris and proposed a French translation of A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, which failed to materialize. He participated in the translation of "Anna Livie Plurabelle" (La Nouvelle revue française, 1931) and published a French translation of "Ecce Puer" in 1933 along with several articles on JJ. As a poet he was loosely affiliated with Surrealism, collaborated with his wife Claire Goll (1891-1977) and founded the magazine Surréalisme in October 1924. He spent the WWII years in New York and died in Paris. William Brockman

A journalist, she married Gorman in 1921 in New York, and with him edited The Peterborough Anthology (1923), selections from the MacDowell Colony poets. Her translation of Henri Cami's Le Fils des trois mousquetaires was published in 1930. Friendly with the Colums, she saw the Joyces frequently in Paris after 1930; JJ addressed a comic poem to her. The Gormans divorced in 1931 and, in 1939, she became the second wife of Carl Van Doren, whom she divorced in early 1945, dying herself later that year. John Simpson

title: Gerhart Hauptmann

description: Gerhart HauptmannCelebrated German dramatist, remembered as a pioneer of theatrical naturalism. In 1901 JJ translated Hauptmann's Vor Sonnenaufgang (1889; eventually published as Before Sunrise: James Joyce's Translation, ed. Jill Perkins [San Marino: Huntington Library, 1978]) and Michael Kramer (1900). JJ's Kramer has since been lost, though it surfaces in the Dubliners story "A Painful Case" whose character James Duffy keeps a copy of the play in his desk drawer. In 1912 Hauptmann was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature. JJ remained fascinated by Hauptmann's work, sending him a telegram on 14 November 1932 with birthday wishes. In a letter to Ezra Pound of 5 December 1937 JJ asked Pound to arrange for Hauptmann to inscribe to JJ an edition of Kramer, writing "This play made a great impression on me" . William Brockman

Sainte-Hélène, petite île, his translation into French of M. A. Aldanov's historical novel, was published in 1921. By 1924, Hirschwald was working as a journalist in Dijon (using the name Michel and, occasionally, Maurice), often for Parisian papers, and he continued in this role until at least the early 1940s. He died in Switzerland in 1968. John Simpson

title: B. W. Huebsch

description: B. W. HuebschAmerican independent publisher and then executive at Viking Press. After several years in the family's printing business, Huebsch founded his own publishing firm focusing on religion, political theory, and modern literature (notably an English translation of Hauptmann's dramatic works). His books featured a distinctive seven-candle menorah on the title page. Huebsch and JJ became acquainted when the publisher arranged for two stories from Dubliners to be published in the American magazine, The Smart Set (1915). He published A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man in late 1916, and issued American editions of Dubliners (1916, 1917), Exiles (1918), and Chamber Music (1918). Though interested in publishing Ulysses, Huebsch's vacillation due to fears of prosecution for obscenity discouraged JJ: Huebsch would not risk publishing the book without changes, and JJ would not expurgate. Nevertheless, the two retained a cordial relationship throughout the rest of JJ's life. One of Huebsch's last publications under his own name was the first book-length examination of JJ's work, Herbert S. Gorman's James Joyce: His First Forty Years (1924). In 1925 he sold the firm to the newly-established Viking Press, where he became vice president and editorial director. In ensuing years, Viking became a prominent and influential literary publisher, with works by Dorothy Parker, Sean O'Faolain, Erskine Caldwell, John Steinbeck, Stefan Zweig, and posthumous works by D.H. Lawrence. Viking published JJ's Collected Poems in 1937 and, with Faber & Faber in London, co-published Finnegans Wake in 1939. During Huebsch's time with the firm following JJ's death in 1941, Viking continued as an important publisher of JJ, with The Portable James Joyce (1947), an expanded edition of Exiles (1951), The Letters of James Joyce (1957, 1966), The Critical Writings of James Joyce (1959), as well as Stanislaus Joyce's My Brother's Keeper: James Joyce's Early Years (1958).
