Throughout the seventeen years that Joyce wrote the book, "Finnegans Wake" was published in short excerpts in a number of literary magazines, most prominently in the Parisian literary journals "Transatlantic Review" and Eugene Jolas's "transition". It has been argued that ""Finnegans Wake", much more so than "Ulysses", was very much directly shaped by the tangled history of its serial publication." In late October 1923 in Ezra Pound's Paris flat, Ford Madox Ford convinced Joyce to contribute some of his new sketches to the "Transatlantic Review", a new journal that Ford was editing.
