What was it like to be put on trial for the “crime” of publishing an instalment of Ulysses serially in The Little Review? It is difficult to get a detailed sense of this as a lived experience, or to know how to express that experience in visual terms. No transcript was made of the trial proceedings, and there was no written decision handed down. But this photograph of the Jefferson Market Police Court in New York’s Greenwich Village communicates something of the world in which Anderson and Heap found themselves moving when the case came to trial before three magistrates at the Court of Special Sessions in February 1921.

#6: James Joyce’s Ulysses (Published for the Egoist Press, London, by John Rodker, Paris,1922), inscribed by Joyce for Jane Heap

Jane Heap worked tirelessly to ensure that Ulysses appeared regularly in The Little Review between March 1918 and December 1920. In New York, in February 1921, she stood trial alongside Margaret Anderson for the offence of publishing the final part of Ulysses, chapter 13 (“Nausicaa”). She was deemed guilty of publishing an “obscene” text, finger-printed, and fined $50. Joyce therefore had reason to inscribe this copy of Ulysses “in token of gratitude” on Heap’s first trip to Paris, and their first meeting in person, in 1923.

# 2: The “American Number” of The Little Review, June 1918

Acting as “Foreign Editor” for The Little Review, an avant-garde American periodical dedicated to the publication of Modernist literature and ideas, Ezra Pound encouraged Joyce to submit Ulysses for serial publication in the summer of 1917. Spurred by the promise of regular payment and the encouragement that his work would be published and appreciated, Joyce began to complete chapter typescripts in sequence and sent them to Pound in London for his approval and onward submission to The Little Review in New York.
