Sylvia Beach (1887–1962) was an American bookshop operator who became important in the literary life of Paris, particularly in the 1920s, when her shop, Shakespeare and Company, was a gathering place for expatriate writers and a center where French authors could pursue their newfound interest in American literature. She worked closely with Irish writer James Joyce to publish his monumental and controversial novel Ulysses (1922).
