In 1984 was published the news-capturing scholarly work, the
"Critical and Synoptic Edition" of James Joyce's Ulysses, which, as
The New York Times said, corrected "almost 5,000 omissions,
transpositions and other errors included in previous editions of
the seminal 20th-century novel." That remarkable work of
scholarship, labor, and love, however, ran to three volumes in heft
and rang up at $200 in price. Here, then, comes the single-volume
trade-book edition of the same edited and restored text, placing
the great novel, in as close to its originally-intended form as can
be achieved, within reach of the common reader. Missing only is the
vast scholarly apparatus of the longer version, though this one
comes with a pleasantly helpful preface by Joyce biographer Richard
Ellmann and a methodologically explanatory afterward by Hans Walter
Gabler. A welcome event. Publication date, readers will note, is
Bloomsday. (Kirkus Reviews)
Considered the greatest 20th century novel written in English, in this edition Walter Gabler uncovers previously unseen text. It is a disillusioned study of estrangement, paralysis and the disintegration of society.
