Annotations to Finnegans Wake

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 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 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 Unravels the mysteries of James Joyce.
—New York Times A daunting and delightful book.
—Modern Fiction Studies McHugh remains admirable for his collection.
—Tim Conley, James Joyce Quarterly He 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.
