For #EYALove, here’s a necklace that James Joyce designed and gifted to Nora Joyce for their fifth anniversary. The inscription is from Joyce’s poem ‘Chamber Music’ and reads ‘Love is unhappy when love is away’. [SSJ-OBJ/004] #jamesjoyce #chambermusic #love #exploreyourarchive
Charles Hasler’s work included ‘Dig for Victory’ and ‘Make Do and Mend’, and his collection is now open! Come and see examples of his work at our new exhibition in the Staircase Hall, located @TheMERL. #typography #charleshasler #graphicdesign
Judge John Woolsey delivers his decision on Ulysses OTD in 1933, ruling that Ulysses was not obscene and could be admitted to the United States. "Whilst in many places the effect of Ulysses on the reader undoubtedly is somewhat emetic, nowhere does it tend to be an aphrodisiac."

My amazing 3 month placement with @UniRdg_SpecColl & @TheMERL library has sadly come to an end! 😢 Thank you so much for making me so welcome and letting me get my hands on so many wonderful collections. Even more respect for all archivists who make research & #PhD's possible ❤️
Our #tiny entry is James Joyce’s Cartier gold book charm attached to his pen. This was a gift to Joyce to celebrate his 57th birthday as well as the upcoming publication of ‘Finnegans Wake’ in 1939. [SSJ-OBJ/002] #EYATiny #exploreyourarchive #joyce #finneganswake
For #EYAAnimals, here’s some colourful editions of ‘The Cat and the Devil’, based off a letter James Joyce wrote to his grandson Stephen Joyce. The first is a 1965 copy, signed by Stephen, and the second is a 1967 Italian edition. [JR 30 CAT / CAT/ITA] #childrensbooks #joyce
Did you know that the structure and characters of James Joyce’s ‘Ulysses’ were inspired by Homer’s ‘Odyssey’? Here’s a 1935 edition of ‘Ulysses’, illustrated and signed by Henry Matisse. [Joyce Reserve Folio 30 ULY] #EYAMythology #exploreyourarchive #joyce #ulysses #odyssey
