desertcart.com: Ulysses Annotated: Notes for James Joyce's Ulysses: 9780520253971: Gifford, Don, Seidman, Robert J.: Books

Review: A splendid companion! - This is such a valuable resource for sifting through all the intricacies of Ulysses. Firstly, the book is of an extremely high quality. But secondly, and more importantly, it is filled to the brim with resources. Each chapter begins with a map of the relevant geographical area of Dublin with locations of the corresponding episode in Ulysses marked. In addition, there is a summary of the Homeric parallels of each episode, as well as an overview of the themes, stylistic devices, and more. Decimals worth the buy.
Review: Notes from THE GUIDE which Makes Ulysses Pop - The internet is not enough. Use this book. Gifford is a trustable guide. These notes will help you avoid fantasy dead-ends not intended by Joyce. Knowing that a “costdrawer” is an appraiser, you can speed past internet posted essays on Daedalus family debts. Hippopotami do not wade the Irish coast waves. Nor do seahorses. Gifford's work was published in 1988 and from him you may imagine Bloom has a potato as talisman in his pocket (instead of a hole in his pocket). So the internet, more current, can be valuable as backup, used with discernment. Fundamentally, Gifford's notes aggregate in one place and simplify so you can enjoy Ulysses. He helps with backstory, referring you to characters appearing in The Dubliners, to events from Portrait. He is comprehensive in music lyrics with cast, playbill, and venue. He provides enough political history, Greek and Latin, Roman Catholic and Jewish explications. With Gifford in hand, puns and characterizations pop. If to Gifford's notes you add the Univ of Montana's excellent photo illustrated site, Ulysses will become very alive and make you happy in appreciation of each and every page.
