This major new reconsideration of (¡raham (¡reene s writings, from the
1920s
until the
1980s,
focuses both on his best-known novels and his less-familiar works,
including his short stones, plays, poetry, film scripts and reviewing, journalism
and personal correspondence. It explores the major issues of Catholic faith and
doubt, particularly in relation to his portrayal of secular love and physical desire,
and examines the religious and secular issues inherent in his plots involving trust,
betrayal, love and despair. Although (¡reene s female characters have often been
underestimated, Brcnnan argues that while sometimes abstract, symbolic and two-
dimensional, these figures often prove central to an understanding of the moral,
personal and spiritual dilemmas of his male characters. Finally, he reveals how
(¡reene
was one
oí
the most genencally ambitious writers of the twentieth century,
experimenting with established forms but also believing that the career of a successful
novelist should incorporate a great diversity of other categories of writing. Offering
a new and original perspective on the reading of (¡reene s literary works and their
importance to Fnghsh twentieth-century fiction, this book will be of interest to
anyone studying
(¡reene.
