Affirmation in a moral wasteland

Více o knize

This study broadens the aesthetic horizons of both Ford and Greene criticism and at the same time facilitates a full appreciation of their respective positions in modern letters. Ford criticism is still hampered by the tendency to view him as a late Victorian/ Edwardian spokesman, in much the same way that Greene criticism is often hampered by a preoccupation with Greene's Catholicism.Radell examines in detail certain representative works of each author and discusses Ford's overlooked non-fiction, as well as the artistic relationship between Ford and Greene. This study also shares letters from Greene and his comments made during a January 1982 interview with him.
