What is the best edition of Ulysses out there now?

Pretty sure the words in 'em are the same.
Thomas Reed
I am currently reading the 1922 text. It's my first time reading Ulysses though so I have nothing to compare it to. I've enjoyed it so far though, if that helps a little bit. There are plenty of footnotes.
Benjamin Hernandez
Gabler or bust.
Joseph Garcia
Shows what you know.
Owen Brooks
Gargler is for memelords.
John Ortiz
lol
Charles Evans
you're retarded
it's no secret that the original 1922 edition contained a plethora of errors, which joyce then worked with random house to emend for the 1934 us edition, that was later reprinted in 1961 by the modern library and forms the "standard" text
the highly unusual styling of ulysses meant there was copious room for error, esp from the copywriters/typesetters, and it showed aubndantly in 1922. though thousands of errors were corrected by joyce himself in 1934, there were still many more he worked on, and often incldued as errata for later editions before being incorporated into the text. it's not unreasonable at all to think there were still more to come.
general academic consensus today states gabler likely overstepped a bit in his corrections, but it is not at all unreasonable for him to have done what he did. the controversy around the edition is, anyway, largely academic and completely irrelevant to the lay reader, and certainly not to pseuds on Veeky Forums
kindly never post about this topic again.

i'd seriously recommend the Vintage International edition, 1990 print. uses the "standard" text and the book itself feels so nice on the hands, like butter, you'll see if you get one.
Connor Lee
uugh cover is so ugly though
Jason Torres
much better than either of OP's imo. Gabler is maybe my favorite cover, but also still shitty.
Kayden White
the oxford world classics one is alright, pretty average but not ugly. the one with the enda duffy introduction is the best cover by far but has the 1922 text im pretty sure
Jordan Collins
wait lol I think the oxford one has the 1922 text as well, fuck sake
Andrew Roberts
Anyone got any feedback on this one? I don't hear much talk about it but it looks promising.
Samuel Howard
ooohhh i saw this at a bookstore once, looks nice, t b h I don't like annotations but if you don't mind them go for it I guess
Blake Perez
not what you're asking, but check out this sweet edition of fw the folio society has right now foliosociety.com
Mason Gutierrez

Lucas Perry

It does, I'm reading the Oxford edition and while there are errors they are pointed out in the endnotes and if you are anything like me the endnotes are extremely helpful as they give you all sorts of historically relevant information as well as all sorts of translations (gaelic, Latin, etc.), As well as all literary references. I am happy with the Oxford edition but I can understand the appeal of a corrected edition.
Mason Brooks
Someone on Veeky Forums recommended this. I told the advice and found it pretty good. Kinda heavy on hands though.
Joseph Rodriguez
>look mom, I posted it again!
Fuck off, shillfag.
Alexander Lewis
What's good about it? Sorry, but considering buying it new and it's a bit expensive if it turns out to be shit. Could you give a small overview of what's good about it?
Joseph Mitchell
hahaha ha heh lol!
Asher Walker
It's a pasta and it's also completely correct.
Or are you implying Hans Gabler is lurking Veeky Forums shilling his book whenever the chance comes up?
Josiah Long
terrible choice. it does not maintain original pagination (which is very important for FW) and I'm willing to bet they did not use the text that embodies Joyce's corrections, which are arguably more crucial for FW than for Ulysses.
Justin Davis
Get a reprint of the 1927 issue.
Zachary Flores
I've got the random house 1946 edition. It's got a few punctuation errors but nothing that detracts from the book.
I'm pining after the 1934 edition.
Lucas Hughes
f a m, what's the best annotated 1960/61 edition?
thanks
Asher Williams
anyone got this edition of portrait yet? looks quite nice, even has an introduction from karl ove
my edition is a completely shit, cheap collins classic which started coming apart after reading it once, so I might be looking to upgrade
Jackson Miller
That has to be the most tumblry cover I have ever fucking seen, why do books need to have such flashy covers?
Kayden Johnson
increases sales, obviously
I also think it's not that bad, quite pretty
the comparison with wanderer above the sea of fog is somewhat justified and I suppose the colorfulness matches joyce's descriptions somewhat
I think it's alright, would probably buy if I saw it, mostly because, again, my edition is so shit
just checked and the oxford classics is probably the best version, don't like penguin modern classics versions of Joyce
Joseph Hughes
>so I might be looking to upgrade
If that's your idea of upgrading you should upgrade your ass back to tumblr, faggot.
Owen Morgan
honestly you're the one that should be called names here
Jonathan Edwards
This. It's not perfect, but it's the best we have. Though wasn't some professor working on a "definitive" version, however impossible that might be?
Carter Jones
Kidd. For some reason it hasn't come out
also, 1960/61 is the best version we have. it's not just being printed for copyright reasons
Ryder Barnes
I just think it looks like the cover of a children's book, bright colors, cartoon style, and soft casual looking font
Blake Campbell
that's not necessarily a bad thing
Angel Brown
Man, just buy a book you will read instead.
Don't fall for the meme
Lincoln Phillips
It's funny cause they're actually not.
Evan Nguyen
This. I read Ulysses from a Wordsworth and then only because I didn't have access to a library. It was 100% fine. Typographical and other errors will make zero difference to a first-time lay reader struggling to follow the events of novel, let alone find artistic meaning in spelling choices.
If you end up really fucking loving Ulysses, then you'll do some actual research and buy an edition based on that.
James Cooper
I got an old hardcover of the 1960 Bodley Head version. It's really fucking cool.
