Andrew Gibson has been appointed General Editor of the new 2022 editions of James Joyce to be published by Penguin. 2022 is the centenary of the publication of Joyce’s Ulysses. It is also the centenary of the formation of the Irish Free State, and therefore of the beginning of (at least a certain kind of) independence for Ireland. This supplies the rationale for a set of centenary editions produced by a British and Irish team of scholars. Gibson himself will write the introduction to Ulysses and assist Steven Morrison of Nottingham University in annotating it. Clare Hutton, an Irish scholar currently teaching at Loughborough University, will provide a scholarly account of the text. Anne Fogarty of University College Dublin will write the introduction to and annotate Dubliners. Joe Brooker of Birkbeck College, London will write the introduction to A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, with Morrison again providing the notes. Hutton will provide the introduction and notes to a new edition of Joyce’s Poems. Gibson will write the introduction and notes to Exiles. He will also edit the new Penguin edition of Finnegans Wake, though this will appear later, in 2024.
