Summary:

'The Strong Spirit' considers James Joyce's earlier writings including 'Dubliners' and 'A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man', placing these texts in relation to the different British-Irish historical contexts immediately contemporary with them, and also the often rather different historical contexts with which they are immediately concerned.
