Annotations to Finnegans Wake

McHugh's Annotations explicates foreign words, English overtones, place names, personal names, phrases parodied, song titles and quotations, literary sources, historical events, and more. Most notable is the arrangement of the book: each page corresponds, line by line, and word-placement by work-placement, with a page of Finnegans Wake. By placing the two books side by side, the reader can eliminate the need to consult alphabetical lists, indexes, or other devices in other handbooks.McHugh, Roland is the author of 'Annotations to Finnegans Wake', published 1980 under ISBN 9780801822599 and ISBN 0801822599.
