Description:Limited to 1000 numbered copies. Cloth-covered boards with gilt-stamped lettering on spine in cloth-covered slipcase. Includes satin pagemarker.
Ulysses, the summit of Joyce's achievement and of modern literature,
represents a day - 16 June 1904 - in the life of Dublin and its citizens.
This new, radically reappraised edition is published for the first time in
the city it depicts. The Dublin Edition is issued in a limitation edition
of one thousand numbered, slip-cased copies, with a foreword by John
Banville. The trade edition is published by Picador of London.
'I have found Danis Rose a devoted, conscientious and scrupulous scholar -
scrupulous according to his own strong principles. These principles,
whether I agree with them or not, tend to be independent, autonomous, even
radical, and often challenge assumptions that we have commonly shared for a
long time. That is one reason why I welcome a new edition of Ulysses edited
by Danis Rose.'
- Fritz Senn, Director of the Zurich James Joyce
Foundation.
'Invaluable - a subtle, intelligent, restrained, scholarly and usable
edition... Danis Rose is one of the great Joyce scholars of this century.'
- Bruce Arnold, Irish Independent
'A landmark edition for first time readers and life-time fans - audacious,
challenging, welcome and readable.'
- Gerry Dukes, The Irish Times
'Significantly restored and improved - a fine and loyal act of restoration'
- Robert McCrum, The Observer
THE EDITOR
Danis Rose, who lives in Dublin, is one of the world's leading experts on
James Joyce. He worked with David Hayman as editor of Volumes 28-63 of The
James Joyce Archive (1977-78). In The Lost Notebook (1989) Rose presented
evidence of the origins of Ulysses as a planned sequel to A Portrait of the
Artist as a Young Man,and described Joyce's first conception of the
character Leopold Bloom. His other publications include The Textual Diaries
of James Joyce (Lilliput; 1995) and the forthcoming Ulysses in Genesis.
