Editorial Reviews

"Of the many efforts made to interpret Joyce's magnum opus, the best by far is that by Stuart Gilbert."

— Chicago Sunday Tribune

"Most serious Joyce readers owe to Stuart Gilbert their first introduction to the richness and complexity of Ulysses. His monumental pioneer analysis remains an essential Baedeker."
