“"The key that will open [ Finnegans Wake's ] treasures." -- The New York Times”
"Campbell and Robinson deserve a citation from the Republic of Letters for having succeeded in bringing out their Skeleton Key at this time....The chance to be among the first to explore the wonders of "Finnegans Wake" is one of the few great intellectual and aesthetic treats that these last bad years have yielded."
-- Edmund Wilson, "The New Yorker"
"Joyce has found in Mr. Campbell and Mr. Robinson the ideal readers who approach his book with piety, passion, and intelligence, and who have devoted several years to fashioning the key that will open its treasures."
-- Max Lerner, "The New York Times"
"The key that will open ["Finnegans Wake"'s] treasures."
