"Hassett's combination of literary insight and legal dexterity...makes his book ...an original and subtly entertaining contribution to the history of modernist culture.' -Roy Foster The publishers of Ulysses by James Joyce were brought to trial and convicted of obscenity in the USA in 1921. The immortal prose, ultimately recognized as the greatest English language novel of the twentieth century, was first published by the pioneering literary magazine The Little Review. Its founder Margaret Anderson along with her publishing partner and lover, Jane Heap, were famously convicted of a crime for their extraordinary contribution to society. From then until its eventual publication in the US in 1934 the book ran the gamut of legal obstruction. The Ulysses Trials chronicles that progress and adds not only to the understanding of Joyce but also to the history of the laws of obscenity, censorship and freedom of speech. Its appeal is to Joyceans, all those interested in modernism and to the legal community and students of literature and law.

Yeats Now / Joseph M. Hassett. - [miejsce nieznane] : The Lilliput Press : Legimi, 2020.

W. B. Yeats believed that lyrics can 'take on a second beauty, passing as it were out of literature and becoming life'. By focusing on Yeats's most memorable lines of poetry, Joseph Hassett reveals new ways of enjoying a body of work that speaks to the twenty-first century. For example, 'The Stare's Nest by my Window' is informed by the circumstances in which it was written. Locked in his tower amid the violence and uncertainty of civil war, Yeats felt 'an overmastering desire not to grow unhappy or embittered, not to lose all sense of the beauty of nature'. Finding the perfect metaphor for a necessary balm, he spotted an empty bird's nest and 'began to smell honey in places where honey could not be'. The poem's plea – 'O honey-bees, / Come build in the empty house of the stare' – addresses readers in any state of physical or emotional isolation. This book is an enriching companion to the work of one of the world's great poets. Its iconography – portraits, photographs, book designs, manuscript letters – illuminates the poems and the life. Its continuing dialogue with writers past and present, from Joyce to Beckett, Heaney and others, offers up an enduring harvest of wisdom for our age.
