In James Joyce's early work, as in "Ulysses" and "Finnegans Wake,"
meanings are often concealed in obscure allusions and details of
veiled suggestive power. Consistent recognition of these hidden
signififances in "Dubliners" and "A Portrait of the Artist as a
Young Man" would require an encyclopedic knowledge of life in
nineteenth- and twentieth-century Dublin such as few readers
possess. Now this substantially revised and expanded edition of Don
Gifford's "Notes to Joyce: "Dubliners" and "A Portrait of the
Artist as a Young Man"" puts the requisite knowledge at the
disposal of scholars, students, and general readers.
An ample introductory essay supplies the historical, biographical,
and geographical background for "Dubliners" and "Portrait." The
annotations that follow gloss place names, define slang terms,
recount relevant gossip, 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, and illuminate cryptic allusions to literature,
theology, philosophy, science and the arts.
Professor Gifford's labors in gathering these data into a single
volume have resulted in an invaluable source-book for all students
of Joyce's art.
