Letter from [Ellsworth Mason] to Laura Jackson, 1973-11-11

"On a far less persoal and important level I am having irritations with publishers. The Critical Writings of James Joyce, which I edited with Richard Ellmann 15 years ago went into French translation in 1966. Although this book contains an important introduction by Ellmann, headnotes and footnotes to each piece that extend considerably our understanding of Joyce's biography, influences, and values, and my translations into English of a dozen articles and unpublished lectures in Joyce's Italian, the title page records no editors of the work, although we are identified at the end of an avant-propos by the translator!"
