The first  English Edition, but more precisely the second printing of the first edition, printed from the largely unaltered plates used for the first impression, and intended for distribution in Britain, was published in September 1922.

A long-time Joyce supporter, Harriet Weaver was determined to bring out her own edition of Ulysses. A socialist, she believed that her inheritance, “tainted by usury, was hers in trust,” and had signed a sizeable inheritance over to Joyce. She sent Joyce a £200 advance for an English edition, which was published for the Egoist Press by John Rodker of Paris, and printed by Silvia Beach’s printer Maurice Darentiere from the same plates as the first edition (published in February 1922).

Rodker’s edition includes the statement:

“First Published by Shakespeare and Company, Paris: February 1922. Published By the Egoist Press, London: October 1922.  The Publishers apologize for the typographical errors, a list of which is appended.”
