Here's the thing, if you've read every /lit/ meme you are actually probably pretty well read and have other books as well. Therefore, you aren't memed at all. Being truly memed required you to be like OP: having just a handful of books and all of them memes that are probably above his reading level.

The truth is exactly the opposite of everything you just said.

>Most thoroughly error-free version of the text.

>Used by pretty much every major reference and guide to Ulysses. Line numbers, etc.

>Celebrated and adored by the academic community and the suggested, standard edition used by universities.

>> No.8348798

why are errors in ulysses still a thing? a hundred fucking years later and they still cant get it right? why do you call joyce such a great writer if he published a book with so many fucking errors?

>> No.8348827

>>8348798
Why are errors in different editions of the same book a thing? Is it that hard to just copy the first edition word for word?

>> No.8348835

>>8348798

It's an inevitable part of writing a 600 page book and when you compound with that Ulysess' strange publishing history and the complexity of the book, it makes sense. Do you think the edition of Shakespeare on your shelf is a one-for-one facsimile of the original quarto?

Don't be so shallow and pedantic, not to mention completely ignorant of the writing and publishing process.

>> No.8348860

>>8348827

The first edition of Ulysses was rushed to the press and is full of typographical errors and discrepancies with what Joyce intended. Joyce wrote detailed letters and left behind pages of corrections reflecting this. Replicating the original edition would be a mistake since the original edition is one of the most flawed.

>> No.8348868

>>8348860
So why not just account for Joyce's edits and make that the definitive version?

>> No.8348876

>>8348868

That's what the Gabler edition is.

fyi, this is a thing already. when you see 'the 1922 text' like with the oxford world classics edition, it's an exact replica of the 'original'
