Roland McHugh's classic Annotations to Finnegans Wake provides both
novice readers and seasoned Joyceans with a wealth of information
in an easy-to-use format uniquely suited to this densely layered
text. Each page of the Annotations corresponds directly to a page
of the standard Viking/Penguin edition of Finnegans Wake and
contains line-by-line notes following the placement of the passages
to which they refer, enabling readers to look directly from text to
notes and back again, with no need to consult separate glossaries
or other listings. McHugh's richly detailed annotations distill
decades of scholarship, explicating foreign words, unusual English
connotations and colloquial expressions, place names, historical
events, song titles and quotations, parodies of other texts, and
Joyce's diverse literary and popular sources. This thoroughly
updated fourth edition draws heavily on Internet resources and
keyword searches. For the first time, McHugh provides readers with
a synopsis of the action of Finnegans Wake. He also expands his
examination of possible textual corruption and adds hundreds of new
glosses to help scholars, students, and general readers untangle
the dense thicket of allusions that crowds every sentence of
Joyce's nearly inscrutable masterpiece.
