Two Essays by F.J.C. Skeffington & James A. Joyce, 1901
This pamphlet, published in October 1901 by James Joyce and his friend Francis Sheehy Skeffington (‘MacCann’ in A Portrait), contains their two essays which were refused publication in the University magazine St Stephen’s. Joyce’s contribution, ‘The Day of the Rabblement’, was an attack on the parochialism of the Irish Literary Theatre; Skeffington’s essay advocated equal status for women in the University.
This is one of a small number of mint condition copies kept by the Skeffington family. Acquired by the Tower in 1989 from Andree Sheehy Skeffington.
