Additional Description

Container Summary

1 TLS (1/20/1958) from Sylvia Beach (1887-1962) to John L. Brown re preparing a talk on the publication by Shakespeare and Company of James Joyce's "Ulysses," and conflicting interest with a chapter on Joyce in the forthcoming publication of her memoirs. Includes typed carbon reply from Brown (1/22/1958): "...of course, as I explained to you...you were free to talk about any subject you liked. Even the printed title in the program did not oblige you to talk about Joyce -- it could have very legitimately treated your memories of French writers you knew at the period when Shakespeare and Co. published "Ulysses." And this subject would have pleased our public just as much as a talk about Joyce..."
