London: John Calder, 1978. First U.K. Edition. First impression. Inscribed on title page: "To Edward," signed, undated but apparently contemporary with publication. Octavo. Red cloth hardcover; dustjacket; xv,765pp. Mild soil to text block edges; faint reading crease to spine, still solidly Very Good. In the original dustwrapper, unclipped (priced £15 at base of front flap), crisp and clean with just a trace of wear along upper extremities, Near Fine. A major work of postructuralist literary analysis, expanded from Cixous' 1968 doctoral dissertation, L'Exil de James Joyce ou l'Art du remplacement. This translation originally appeared in the U.S. in 1972. An elusive title, quite uncommon signed.
