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.

This book is about the concept of historical intermittency in five recent and contemporary French philosophers: Alain Badiou, Francoise Proust, Christian Jambet, Guy Lardreau and Jacques Ranciere.

This study re-examines narrative theory and outlines the consequences for narratology of deconstructive, poststructuralist and more recent theory.
