The Project also addresses questions about literary history, offering new insights about Joyce’s readership and the development of modernism.

Founded in 2020, the Project details what members of the bookshop and lending library community read and where they lived. The Shakespeare and Company Project is a digital humanities initiative at Princeton that uses Beach’s archives to tell new stories about the lost generation. In 1922, Beach published James Joyce’s Ulysses under the Shakespeare and Company imprint, a feat that made her and her bookshop and lending library famous around the world. She called it Shakespeare and Company and it quickly became the meeting place for a community of writers and artists now known as the lost generation. In 1919, an American woman named Sylvia Beach opened an English-language bookshop and lending library in Paris.

The James Joyce Centre was delighted to host Associate Professor Joshua Kotin of Princeton University to discuss his work as director of The Shakespeare and Company Project.
