Abstract

This essay analyses Steloff’s influence on Joyce’s reception in the United States and internationally, and argues that her work emphasized the collective enterprise of creating a literary legacy, one that was specifically female. Steloff’s Gotham Book Mart’s imprint appeared on editions of “The Mime of Mick, Nick, and the Maggies” (1934), and from at least 1939, Steloff began planning the James Joyce Society, which she founded in 1947. The Joyce Society paved the way for the international organization of Joyce studies, and also for the more informal modes of public gathering around Joyce. The group would print numerous volumes dedicated to Joyce and support Joyce adaptations in music, theater and film, in addition to its meetings and events. Steloff strategically placed high profile male Joyce scholars in the position of president while she ran the Joyce Society and forged alliances with women such as Maria Jolas, Margaret Anderson, Sylvia Beach, and May Monaghan, modeling a drive to support women’s participation in Joyce circles.
