Gabler nodding? (ch11-15)

Jorn Barger May 2000 (updated July 2000)

These pages are an updating of my 'online Ulysses repair kit' [qv] with added notes, documenting the choices in my own Ulysses edition [qv].

Overall, it appears Gabler was trying to maximize the number of changes he could justify, resulting in some 1000 dubious choices.

New: Joyce's capitals; Joyce's typists; Joyce's deletions

[compare]


Sirens [Barger] [Theall] [Toronto] [Bibliomania]

It's looking to me like Joyce went over the text before it was typed and changed many commas to improve the rhythms (rather than the meanings), but Gabler consistently rejects these as typos. Unfortunately, there do also seem to be many uncaught typos, so this episode requires particulaly delicate handling.

11.7 "Gold pinnacled"

G reverts to tempting compound, but J never fixed it, and I think the rhythm is slightly better with two words

11.8 "breast"

G restores plausible singular

11.13 "look! The"

G reverts to colon-no-cap

11.13 "fade. Notes chirruping answer. O rose! Castile."

way messy. G thinks the typist moved 'O rose' to published position: 'fade. O rose! Notes chirruping answer.' I'll accept this until I've learned more. but G also thinks there are two lines here, which makes no sense.

11.14 "Castile"

J always spelled this Castile, but allowed it to be everywhere 'corrected' to Castille. Balfe's opera usually has one ell, as does the region in Spain. The double-ell spelling seems to be French, but looks much better to me.

11.28 "Clapclop"

G reverts to unhappy-though-plausible Clapclap

11.31 "moonlight"

G acknowledges this 1936 revision makes sense

11.31 "far: far"

11.43 "Naminedamine."

G imposes italics, pleading "e"

11.61 "Then, not"

11.64 "Miss"

11.86 "pipes, bearing"

G reverts to unhappy no-comma

11.87 "antiques in"

G restores unneeded oomma

11.96 "beau,"

G de-italicizes, plausibly

11.100 "bootsnout"

G 'corrects' to unhappy bootssnout, pleading only "e'???

11.140 "sipped sweet"

G restores unneeded comma

11.150 "figs I"

G restores unneeded comma

11.162 "sighing. Sighing"

G reverts to dubious comma-no-cap

11.162 "fordone their"

11.286 "the diningroom"

G restores 'the bar and...'

11.290 "jingle jaunty"

G opts for a plausible compound

11.293 "hand) soft pedalling a"

J had a comma after 'hand)' so G added an extra before 'a' but I think none is wiser

11.299 "Tanks"

G reverts humorlessly to Thanks

11.302 "jauntingcar"

G reverts to two words!??

11.303 "is. Third"

G restores unneeded 'Again.'

11.331 "Castile. Fretted"

G reverts to colon-and-comma

11.349 "Smart"

11.352 "he. All said four."

G opts for unhappy 'bulging apple'

11.397 "note, pealed in the treble, clear. Bronzedouce, communing"

Nausikaa: [Barger] [Theall] [Toronto] [Bibliomania]

Oxen: [Barger] [Theall] [Toronto] [Bibliomania]

Gabler restores many happy revisions to the ms made apparently after the typescript.

14.1 The first three paragraphs are an editor's nightmare. Little inconsistencies abound in the 1922, and Gabler adds more. I'm taking an extreme view and eliminating all the inconsistencies, but otherwise following 1922.

14.20 "unilluminated"

I like 'inilluminated' better but G blames a typist so unless I hear that it's in the OED, I'll play it safe here

14.54 "hoving"

G restores this from ms (he says)

14.76 "twey"

G doesn't explain why he accepts 1937 'tway'...?

G imposes another dash

14.506 "for a racinghorse"

G accepts ms revision to (lame-sounding but perhaps more timely?) 'about a racer'

Circe: [Barger] [Theall] [Toronto] [Bibliomania]

[this episode was the first done with G's 3-vol in front of me, so it presents as new discoveries many topics assumed already (actually later) for the episodes above]

As I understand it, there are many small differences between the manuscript and all subsequent versions, and G's mostly-consistent policy was to override the dozens of times J let those subsequent changes stand, and revert to the ms version... usually without even noting the change in his footnotes!

But the later versions seem as good or better so often that I think it's perfectly fair to make these the editor's call in every instance, separately. (Either way had J's okay at some time.)

15.7 "slowly. Children."

G reverts to the ms's comma

15.10 "THE CALLS... THE ANSWERS"

G thinks the plurals are a typist's error, but I think J must have recognised the improvement

15.20 "(Lifts"

G reverts to ms style with no caps or closing period

15.84 "(Altius aliquantulum.)"

G de-italicised this, with an explanatory symbol "e" meaning "editorial emendation, independent or combining features from several document readings cited" (none are cited)

15.96 "Kilbride the enginedriver"

G reverts to the ms's commas bracketing 'the enginedriver'

15.105 "music, not"

J's insertion lacked the comma

15.105 "odour"

I give this a slight esthetic edge over 'odours', so side with G

15.109 "Mecklenburg"

G overrides J here with 'Mecklenburgh' from 9.1089. I prefer it but can't abide the change

15.117 "bread and wine"

G blames a typist for this change from the ms's 'bread or wine'. The latter implies drunken incoherence where this is subtler.

15.126 "down turned in planes intersecting,"

J originally put a comma after turned, but I prefer this published version.

15.140 "The navvy staggering forward cleaves"

G restores the ms's commas, which seem excessive to me

15.155 "pork butcher's"

G joins these, pleading "e" (see 15.84) [Kidd]

15.159 "trotter sprinkled"

J originally put a comma after trotter, but I prefer this published version.

15.195 "hattrick"

G reverts to ms's two words, overriding J's specific instructions on "a3" (1st proof!?) [via Kidd]

15.229 "stepsaside"

J wrote 'stepaside' but this published version is clearly better.

15.240 "O!"

J wrote 'O.' but this published version reads better for me.

15.243 "pursepocket"

J wrote 'watchfob, pursepoke' but after inserting 'pocketbookpocket' I think the revision was called-for

15.283 "widow Twankey's crinoline and bustle, blouse"

'blouse' needs a modifier, so I wonder at G's reconstruction here

15.290 "at all, at all"

the comma can't be traced to J but I prefer it

15.299 "jacket slashed"

J included an unneeded comma

15.325 [ellipses]

G restores J's irregular numbers of dots

15.339 "earth, I"

G thinks J wrote a period

15.345 "wife, Mrs"

the comma can't be traced to J, but works better for me than G's period.

15.353 "pigeon, humming"

G thinks the humming insertion should precede 'plump' but I think normally a passive trait (plump) needs to come before an active one (humming)

15.361 "rainbedraggled Bridie"

J's comma seems unneeded to me

15.387 "pockets stands"

J's comma seems unneeded to me

15.399 "Walls have hears"

G rejects this entirely, but if it's a typo it's a felicitous one.

15.414 "buttonholes leap"

G restores J's unneeded comma

15.485 "sandwich boards"

G joins these, pleading "e" (see 15.84)

15.585 "Beaver Street"

G blames the capital S on a copyist

15.704 "paper hoop"

G joins these, pleading "e" (see 15.84), against J's request at "a3"

15.721 "von Bloom Pasha"

G mixes early 'Blum' back into later 'von Bloom' [Kidd]

15.740 "Castile"

see 11.14'

15.753 "Leopold!"

G deletes a repetition of this name, and I accept that, esthetically.

15.802 "occupation. Author-journalist"

G reverts to J's ms comma here.

15.812 "Arsewiper"

G blames the final 'r' on a typist, but it has a Joycean tang

15.842 "lie showing"

G overrides J and adds a comma (pleading "e")

15.854 "society."

if I read G right, he's reverting to a "!" against J's specific revision?

15.876 "rumpled, softly"

i don't understand G's symbols here, but I find his colon unJoycean

15.992 "onto"

J wrote 'on to' but I find that distracting

15.993 "bearded with"

J included an unneeded comma

15.1015 "brick quilted"

G joins these, pleading "e" (see 15.84)

15.1107 "hands, with"

the ms had a colon that a typist dropped and J okayed

15.1114 "Pig dog"

G joins these, pleading "e" (see 15.84)

15.1269 "bowers fly"

technically there should be a comma, but I accept the consensus

15.1356 "Raleigh"

G restores ms typo [Kidd]

15.1402 "royal Dublin fusiliers"

G imposes caps for consistency with 15.4607 [Kidd]

15.1402 "own"

G overrides J with a capital O

15.1510 "chair borne"

J included an incorrect comma (implying Selene was borne, not the chair)

15.1527 "builder construct"

J included an unneeded comma

15.1576 "tram lines"

G joins these, pleading "e" (see 15.84)

15.1652 "mix."

G substitutes the more plausible 'nux'

15.1703 "Kildare Street museum "

G has 'street' [Kidd]

15.1732 "(Laughter.)"

G formats this as separate from Bloom's speech.

15.1750 "gas ovens"

G joins these, Kidd says almost totally without evidence

15.1908 "George S Mesias"

G prefers the factual R (credited to Jack Dalton) to J's specific S

15.1929 "saying.)"

the published versions with this period make no sense, but omitting it is also unacceptable, so I'll stick with the version J okayed.

15.1936 "(He exhibits"

G formats this as part of Bloom's speech.

15.1954 "Messiah, Alleluia "

this passage was a late insertion that never made it to print, but G still respects J's unhappy missing comma

15.2084 "caterpillar"

G justifies J's habitual misspelling (doubled t) based on the OED, but Kidd points out it was corrected in 1932

15.2097 "Bah!"

at three points here G substitutes 'Ba' pleading "e" based solely on 15.114

15.2189 "Dave"

G guessed 'Dove' [Kidd]

15.2262 "Mananaan"

J 'corrected' other typos twice to 'Mananann' according to G, but Kidd says it was fixed in 1932 to the expected 'aan' (also 15.2267)

15.2286 "on to"

(I'll stick with J on this one.)

15.2392 "parchmentroll"

Kidd challenges this compound but I'm with G

15.2405 "whores, then"

if I read G right, J deleted whores and then restored it, and G reads this (improbably?) as deleting the comma

15.2477 "Pretty"

(G formats this as separate from the stage direction.)

15.2492 "pendant"

J used pendent and pendant inconsistently, but I'll respect it here (overriding the published version)

15.2614 "MacChree"

G restores ms 'my Chree' blaming typist error okayed by J [Kidd]

15.2654 "Cardinal"

G reverts to ms lowercase

15.2662 "pomp.)"

G reverts to unhappy ms colon

15.2672 "Hi-hi-hi-hi-his legs"

G reverts to ms's gurgling no-dashes

G rejects capital

15.2933 "bytheby"

G reverts to ms's three words

15.3001 "lieutenant"

I accept G's de-capping here, blaming typist

15.3002 "Signor"

G de-caps

15.3003 "Bert the"

J had an unneeded comma

15.3004 "Sheridan, the quadroon Croesus"

Herring wrongly argues (Circe 9:145-6) that the comma belongs after quadroon, but it's a single unit

15.3029 "Black Church"

G reverts to ms church

15.3030 "D'Olier street"

I'll stick with G's ms version here

15.3046 "Larry Rhinoceros"

The Online Ulysses Repair Kit

In all the massive wordage about typos in Ulysses, one thing that's been conspicuously lacking so far, I think, is a convenient list of the points at issue. I will try to remedy that here....

The main source I've relied on is Sandulescu and Hart's "Assessing the 1984 Ulysses", which includes a very useful index-to-quotations in the back. (I recommend this book, not least for an irrelevant-but-great essay by Richard Kain on Dublin in 1904!)

I also have access to most of Kidd's critiques, especially "An Inquiry into Ulysses: the Corrected Text" from the Papers of the Bibliographic Society of America, December 1988. There are also a few items below from Gaskell and Hart's "Ulysses: A Review of Three Texts" a.k.a. the 'Repairkit', which I have not studied closely yet.

I'm concentrating almost entirely on differences between the 1961 Modern Library edition and the 1984/86/93 G edition.

I'll distinguish five classes of changes: good G, doubtful G, 'bad' G, Gabler-having-second-thoughts, and on-beyond-Gabler. The 'bad' Gabler readings are mostly due to Kidd, and are generally not very serious.

Format:

Gabler/ML61  Gabler's version [?] alternate version
             approved change   [  doubtful original         [good]
             doubtful change  ?[  preferred original        [doubtful]
             Gablerian error   ]  fix/restoration           [bad]
             Gablerian error  ]86 fixed in 86 or 93 edition [mutable]
             doubtful reading  ]? proposed repair           [maybe bad]
Example:
"1.86/5.14 his grey searching eyes [ his great searching eyes"
means that in chapter 1 on Gabler's line 86, or page 5 line 14 in the 1961 Modern Library edition, Gabler changed the word "great" to "grey", which most have judged an improvement of the text.

Gabler's improvements (and I hope there are dozens more of this quality?):

More-doubtful Gablerian changes-- these are where most of the debate should be focused (some of these are defensible on genetic grounds but seem to read worse, others are restorations of old versions that J may have overlooked):

Kidd did an entirely-unreadable 'review' of the Repairkit in the JJLS. Near the end he says something about these groups of spelling problems you figure it out...):

garantor, daguerrotype, pumets, langour, philoprogenetive, prolungation
disvestiture, fullfilled, isoceles, nuptual
gunnard, persistance

3.181 "1904"

1903 (factually). the drafts show '1902' changed ambiguously to 1904, which Gabler accepts because of Gabler's own theory that the Paris trip has been redated to 1904 in the Ulysses timescheme. [JJQ17]

7.342 "Wetherup"
