title: T. S. Eliot

description: T. S. EliotRenowned American poet, dramatist, and critic. Born in St. Louis, Thomas Stearns Eliot was educated at Harvard. From his first marriage in 1915 he spent the rest of his life in Britain. Eliot and JJ first met in Paris in 1920. Eliot's major poem "The Waste Land" was published in 1922 only months after Ulysses. The two had only sporadic contact until Eliot joined the publisher Faber & Faber in 1925. The firm published works on JJ, three fragments from "Work in Progress" , and finally in 1939 Finnegans Wake. Despite frequent tension between the two in publication matters, Eliot was an unceasing supporter of JJ's work. His review, "Ulysses, Order, and Myth" (The Dial 75 [November 1923]: 480-83) remains one of the most influential evaluations of the novel. Eliot was largely responsible for maintaining JJ's posthumous prominence with his editing of Introducing James Joyce: A Selection of Joyce's Prose (London: Faber & Faber, 1942). Eliot largely abandoned poetry in the 1940s, preferring to write for the stage, and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1948. William Brockman

title: Carola Giedion-Welcker

description: Carola Giedion-WelckerArt historian and collector. Born in Cologne, she studied art history in Munich and Bonn. With her marriage to Sigfried Giedion, their house in Zurich's Doldertal became a gathering place for a range of modern painters and sculptors whose work she promoted. These included Arp, Täuber-Arp, Brancusi, Giacometti, Klee, Ernst, Kandinsky, Mondrian; the couple developed a substantial collection of art works, based largely on gifts to them. Her first book, Moderne Plastik, Elemente der Wirklichkeit, Masse und Auflockerung (1937), was a pioneering work in the study of modern sculpture.Giedion-Welcker's enthusiastic article on Ulysses in the Neue Schweizer Rundschau (1928) led to her meeting James and Nora Joyce, via Sylvia Beach, in Paris in the spring of 1928. Her article in the same journal the following year promoted "Work in Progress" and was translated and published in the journal transition. She was instrumental in bringing JJ to Zurich for consultation with ophthalmologist Alfred Vogt in 1930, after which the Joyces visited Zurich a number of times through the decade. Her photographs of JJ at Zurich's Platzspitz remain some of the most well-known images of him. While JJ lived in Paris the two corresponded frequently, and Giedion-Welcker provided assistance and solace during the family's difficult times with Lucia Joyce's mental instability. Her friendship with the Joyces proved to be critically important during the last months of 1940, when with Paul Ruggiero, Carola Giedion-Welcker was a key figure in enabling the Joyce family to enter Switzerland during the German occupation of France.Giedion-Welcker was one of JJ's main promoters in the years after his death, editing the collection In Memoriam James Joyce (1941), and publishing articles about JJ in German and English in the 1940s and 1950s, an introduction to the German translation of Ulysses (1956), and the final chapter of the German translation of Herbert Gorman's James Joyce (1957).

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
