About this Item

No Flaws or Blemishes but minimal shelf handling; Still Gift Quality. 9.5 inches tall; 450 pages with an afterword by Hans Walter Gabler. Laid-in contemporary review from Harpers. James Joyce's Ulysses is a seminal work in modernist literature, renowned for its experimental narrative techniques and deep exploration of the human experience. The 1986 Gabler edition, edited by Hans Walter Gabler, stands out as a significant milestone in the novel's publishing history. The Gabler edition aimed to rectify the numerous textual inconsistencies found in earlier publications of Ulysses. Joyce's original manuscript underwent various alterations during its journey to publication, leading to discrepancies in punctuation, word choices, and even omitted passages. Gabler's team meticulously compared Joyce's drafts, typescripts, and proofs, identifying and correcting over 5,000 errors. This comprehensive approach resulted in a text that more closely aligns with Joyce's intentions, enhancing the reading experience for scholars and enthusiasts alike. [Adapted from Literary Reviews].
