*A. E. B. Coldiron, Sharp News*
Gibson's book delivers what it promises ... The Strong Spirit is
essential reading if you're interested in the nationalist context
in which Joyce began writing.
*Geert Lernout, James Joyce Broadsheet*
The Strong Spirit provides a compelling intellectual portrait of
Joyce as he attempts to become "the artist of an emergent
culture".
*Sarah Davison, The Times Literary Supplement.*
This is a much-needed intervention into thinking about Joyce's
politics, and no Joycean, or scholar of Irish studies generally,
should neglect it ... Essential.
*J.M. Utell, CHOICE*
Gibson treats both Joyce and the history of the nation of his birth
with great precision and understanding ... A work of exemplary
scholarship, The Strong Spirit will be read with great interest by
Joyceans and students of Irish literature, but should prove no less
rewarding to anyone with an interest in how literature and history
intersect.
*Steven Morrison, SHARP News*
