Ulysses - Gabler Edition [346]
Michael Groden
August 1993
NOTES
1 The list of References following this Afterword contains bibliographic details about all works mentioned in the text and about some other valuable studies of the edition.
2 Some critics have argued that the first edition can and should serve as the basis for an orthodox copytext edition of Ulysses. The claim can be assessed only when an edition of this kind is actually produced.
3 Gabler has gone on to produce Joyce’s Dubliners and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man in more traditional copytext editions, but even there, as he explains in the Introduction to Portrait, he has resisted emending the copytext solely to fulfil final authorial intention.
4 The above assessments of Kidd’s attacks are elaborated in my ‘Response’ to Kidd’s ‘Inquiry’ and in Gabler’s ‘What Ulysses Requires.’
