Bernard Gilbert

Poet, novelist, dramatist and essayist, remembered for his documentation of the people in rural Lincolnshire. Gilbert had been inspired by Ulysses to write a set of novels about a single moment in a Lincolnshire village. His 'The Tragedy of James Joyce' (published in G. K.'s Weekly 1, no. 3 [4 April 1925]: 36-38) and The Double Dealer 7, no. 44 [June 1925]: 174-78), a dialog between the author and an interlocutor, proposed putting Joyce to a "painless" death for writing Ulysses.
