Sources

In lieu of a separate bibliography, or lists of Works Cited at the end of notes, this website includes bibliographical citations in the notes, often in shortened forms referring readers to this list of Sources. The following published collections of Ulysses annotations are referenced very frequently and identified very concisely:

        Weldon Thornton, Allusions in Ulysses, 2nd ed. (U North Carolina P, 1968)
                The first free-standing published collection of annotations
        Don Gifford with Robert J. Seidman, Ulysses Annot.ated, 2nd ed. (U California P, 1988)
                 A fuller free-standing collection
        James Joyce, Ulysses, notes by Sam Slote (Alma Classics, 2012)
                An edition of the novel with notes at the back
        Sam Slote, Marc A. Mamigonian, and John Turner, Annotations to James Joyce's Ulysses
                (Oxford UP, 2022)  
                The latest, and fullest, free-standing collection of annotations
        Harald Beck and John Simpson, eds., James Joyce Online Notes (JJON, www.jjon.org)
                An online, and ongoing, collection of web pages aimed at experienced readers

Notes written from December 2022 onward refer to the Annotations by Slote and his collaborators, while most earlier notes refer to Slote's annotated edition of the novel. For the sake of brevity my post-2022 notes sometimes refer simply to "Slote," and I usually refer only to "Gifford," mentioning Seidman only when discussing musical allusions and rhetorical tropes, the two areas in which he contributed to Gifford's work. In addition to collections of annotations I often acknowledge the contributions of interested readers who have communicated with me to point out things that scholars have not yet noticed. They are identified only by name.

Much less frequently cited are editions of Ulysses with briefer annotations, annotated editions of Joyce's other fictions, and guides for new readers of Ulysses:

        Don Gifford, Joyce Annotated: Notes for Dubliners and A Portrait, 2nd ed. (U Cal P, 1982)
        Terence Brown, Dubliners (Penguin, 1992)

Scholarly journal articles receive full bibliographical citation––author, title, journal, volume, date, page numbers––within the notes. Websites are cited by URL address, occasionally with an active link, and by an author and date if this information is supplied on the site. Unpublished dissertations, theses, and papers are cited simply by author, title, and year of completion.

Most books other than volumes of annotations are identified in the notes by author, title, and year of publication. Some, however, come up so frequently that they are cited only by author and/or title:

The great majority of the photographic images that accompany the notes are taken from the Web, and a majority of those come from Wikimedia Commons. I make an effort to identify and cite the creator of the work, its location if displayed in a museum or other public space, and the address of a relatively authoritative website if the image appears on many. The websites of the National Library of Ireland (www.nil.ie) and the National Archives of Ireland (www.census.nationalarchives.ie) have provided many useful photographs. Others were taken in recent years by John Hunt, Senan Molony, Gareth Collins, and Randall Cone (see Contributors).

Video and audio clips come mainly from YouTube. When performers and dates or locations of performance can be identified, they are cited in the captions.
