Sylvia Beach was intimately acquainted with the expatriate and
visiting writers of the Lost Generation, a label that she never
accepted. Like moths of great promise, they were drawn to her
well-lighted bookstore and warm hearth on the Left Bank.
Shakespeare and Company evokes the zeitgeist of an era through its
revealing glimpses of James Joyce, Ernest Hemingway, Scott
Fitzgerald, Sherwood Anderson, Andre Gide, Ezra Pound, Gertrude
Stein, Alice B. Toklas, D. H. Lawrence, and others already famous
or soon to be. In his introduction to this new edition, James
Laughlin recalls his friendship with Sylvia Beach. Like her
bookstore, his publishing house, New Directions, is considered a
cultural touchstone.
