Gilbert, Canadian-born novelist and politician, his literary reputation lies primarily on his earlier descriptive, dramatic and historic Canadian stories. He moved to England in 1889 and later served in Parliament. Parker explains that in this edition of his work, each volume will have a special introduction setting forth, as far as possible, the relation of each work to the author, to its companion works, and to the scheme of his literary life. The Battle of the Strong is essentially a romance that takes place in the Island of Jersey and explores the themes of living the more contracted traditional life on a little island as opposed to life in French Canada.
