Summary
The Finnegans Wake Notebook Edition is a
fully integrated and cross-referenced edition of all the extant
work-books compiled by Joyce after the completion of Ulysses. It will
be published as a series of fascicles, one per authorial notebook,
three per scribal notebook, fifty-five in all. This will make
individual notebooks available to scholars as they appear and allow
critical feedback, laying the foundations for an electronic edition
that will be prepared simultaneously. The editorial aim is to bring
together all of the information relevant to each note in as concise and
simple a way as possible. The Finnegans Wake Notebook Edition will
provide a reference library of comprehensively quoted source
material-in effect an annotated digest of Joyce's working
library-which will serve as a new star-ting point not just for exegesis
of Finnegans Wake, but also for biographical, textual, and literary
criticism of Joyce. Furthermore, the Edition will allow for a
reconstruction of Joyce's intellectual concerns and compositional
habits during the drafting of Work in Progress / Finnegans Wake.
