Book Reviews of Ulysses Annotated: Notes for James Joyce's Ulysses
Book Review: Must-have for Ulysses
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes, this does not include the text of Ulysses as others noted. But if you know anything about reading Joyce, you are aware that Gifford's annotated text is widely considered the bible for understanding Ulysses. Beware - its as long as the actual novel so I don't recommend reading it word for word. But as a reference tool, it is par excellence.
Summary of Ulysses Annotated: Notes for James Joyce's Ulysses
Don Gifford's annotations to Joyce's great modern classic comprise a specialized encyclopedia that will inform any reading of Ulysses. The suggestive potential of minor details was enormously fascinating to Joyce, and the precision of his use of detail is a most important aspect of his literary method. The annotations in this volume illuminate details which are not in the public realm for most of us.The annotations gloss place names, define slang terms, give capsule histories of institutions and political and cultural movements and figures, supply bits of local and Irish legend and lore, explain religious nomenclature and practices, trace literary allusions and references to other cultures. Annotations are keyed not only to the reading text of the critical edition of Ulysses, but to the standard 1961 Random House edition, and the current Modern Library and Vintage texts.
