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 Dublins streets as they existed in 1904 and Annotations records them with intelligence and prudence. * Sean Sheehan, Scottish Left Review *comprehensive, incisive and indispensable * Colm Tóibín, 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 *Annotations to James Joyces Ulysses by Sam Slote, Marc Mamigonian and John Turner takes on board all the research and scholarship done since Don Giffords groundbreaking Notes for Joyce. * Colm Tóibín, London Review of Books *The new Annotations to James Joyces Ulysses has a great deal to teach to this Joyce buff. The scholarly work here offers insights into Joyces intentions and tracks the precise movements of his supple, monumentally well-stocked mind. [...] I offer thanks to these gifted scholars for their meticulous research and concise writing. * Robert Seidman, co-author of Ulysses Annotated, James Joyce Quarterly *Even after scores of readings and minute research, I have found that no other literary evocation rewards me as much as Ulysses does... And thank you, informed, insightful, tireless trio-Sam Slote, Marc A. Mamigonian, and John Turner-for the richness of your work. * James Joyce Quarterly 60.4 * Long Description James Joyces Ulysses is filled with all sorts of references that can get in the way of many of its readers.
