Annotations to Finnegans Wake, fourth edition
McHugh's richly detailed annotations distill decades of scholarship, explicating foreign words, unusual English connotations and colloquial expressions, place names, historical events, song titles and quotations, parodies of other texts, and Joyce's diverse literary and popular sources. This thoroughly updated fourth edition draws heavily on Internet resources and keyword searches. For the first time, McHugh provides readers with a synopsis of the action of Finnegans Wake. He also expands his examination of possible textual corruption and adds hundreds of new glosses to help scholars, students, and general readers untangle the dense thicket of allusions that crowds every sentence of Joyce's nearly inscrutable masterpiece.
About the Author
Reviews
"A daunting and delightful book."—Modern Fiction Studies, reviewing a previous edition or volume
"All readers who contemplate any exegetical move whatsoever in the Wake must put the revised Annotations on the top of their pile of reference books."—James Joyce Quarterly, reviewing a previous edition or volume
"McHugh remains admirable for his collection."—Tim Conley, James Joyce Quarterly, reviewing a previous edition
"It is hard to think of any reader of Finnegans Wake who would not have Roland McHugh's Annotations . . . on his desk."—James Joyce Literary Supplement, reviewing a previous edition
"I don't think we still have readers such as Roland McHugh who read the Wake without any help: most novices read the Wake in one hand and McHugh's Annotations in the other."—A Collideorscape of Joyce, reviewing a previous edition or volume
