Consistent recognition of these hidden significances in \u003ci\u003eDubliners\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eA Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man\u003c\/i\u003e would require an encyclopedic knowledge of life in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Dublin such as few readers possess. Now this substantially revised and expanded edition of Don Gifford's \u003ci\u003eNotes to Joyce: \"Dubliners\" and \"A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man\"\u003c\/i\u003e puts the requisite knowledge at the disposal of scholars, students, and general readers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e An ample introductory essay supplies the historical, biographical, and geographical background for \u003ci\u003eDubliners\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ePortrait.\u003c\/i\u003e The annotations that follow gloss place names, define slang terms, recount relevant gossip, give capsule histories of institutions and political and cultural movements and figures, supply bits of local and Irish legend and lore, explain religious nomenclature and practices, and illuminate cryptic allusions to literature, theology, philosophy, science and the arts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Professor Gifford's labors in gathering these data into a single volume have resulted in an invaluable source-book for all students of Joyce's art.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Don Gifford","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48275129368827,"sku":"9780520046108","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9780520046108_be65b9ef-beae-4ea8-aa0f-63b6803e12bd.jpg?v=1772481458","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/joyce-annotated-9780520046108","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
