Reviews
Among the flurry of publications celebrating the centenary of the publication of Joyce's classic novel, this massive, 1,420-page guide, though hardly portable, is an outstanding addition to the scholarship on Ulysses...This reviewer highly recommends the book to all libraries, but suggests a digital copy might be more convenient, given the size and weight of the book. * W. Baker, CHOICE * The range of cultural references, encompassing the gamut from popular forms like advertising and general knowledge to Irish history, religion, music and 'high-brow' literature, is as astonishing as the exactitude of urban details relating to Dublin's streets as they existed in 1904 and Annotations records them with intelligence and prudence. * Sean Sheehan, Scottish Left Review * comprehensive, incisive and indispensable * Colm Toibin, The Irish Times, Best Books of 2022 * ...monumental, exhaustive and thoroughly engrossing volume, edited by an unsurpassed team of scholars...a towering, epochal achievement... * Anne Fogarty, James Joyce Broadsheet * ...amongst the many virtues of this magisterial new panoply of annotations is its transparency and judiciousness. This is a volume that sets out its stall and clearly delineates the methods that it scrupulously and punctiliously follows. It does so, not in order to claim scholarly high ground, but rather to empower readers to license further commentaries in turn...Readers can retrace the steps of the annotators and chase up allusions for themselves. In this manner, the annotations do no foreclose or impede interpretation, but rather they are suggestively inviting while being honourably verifiable. Whole warrens of rabbit holes open up for the interested curious and distractable readers to disappear down. [Annotations} will prompt seasoned readers of Joyce in particular to revise numerous carelessly-held or even stubbornly-cherished assumptions. * Anne Fogarty, James Joyce Broadsheet * One of the best books ever devoted to the classic. This heroically researched [book] is twice as long as its subject text - and well worth it...here at last is a volume that not only explains places but directs the reader to hundreds of further sources. The result is a kind of short story behind most of the footnotes, of a kind which Joyce (I guess)would have approved...simply one of the best [books] ever devoted to Ulysses. * Declan Kiberd, The Irish Times *
