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
