An engrossing account of the making of the 1984 Gabler edition of Joyce’s Ulysses—presented at the time as the ‘corrected’ version—and the subsequent controversy among Joyce scholars when Gabler’s faulty editing process and the resulting errors were revealed by an eccentric, upstart Joycean and corroborated by a stash of letters in the archived papers of one of the principals. The first several chapters explaining just how Ulysses came into being (in fits and starts, serially and in scattered pieces, chopped, patched and rewritten, at times by Joyce himself) suggests that a definitive version of Joyce’s masterpiece does not exist. How about that?

Jack Yeats (1871-1957) stands a a major figure in Irish 20th-century art. An isolated artist throughout his life, Yeats dominated soley through the talent, magic and inventiveness of his painting. His vision and his standing, as well as the many critical judgments during the 40 years since his death have provoked controversies which the author confronts. In this biography Bruce Arnold tells the full story of the artist's life and analyzes his prodigious output. This included not only some 1000 paintings and vast numbers of illustrations, comic cartoons, drawings and watercolours, but also seven novels and nine plays. Based on research among primary sources, this illustrated book describes the life of the son of the portrait painter John Butler Yeats and the younger brother of the poet William Butler Yeats. It provides a portrait of the complex and enigmantic artist whose reputation and artistic vision have become increasingly admired in the years since his death.
