Beschreibung
A compelling reappraisal of Spark's approach to literary experimentationOffers a distinctive reappraisal of Spark s fiction, which challenges the rigid critical framework that has long been applied to her writingInterrogates how Spark s literary innovations work to facilitate moments of subversive satire and gendered social critiquePresents nuanced re-readings of some of Spark s major works, as well as lesser-discussed texts such as her only stage play, Doctors of Philosophy, and early short storiesDraws upon detailed archival research to offer a unique insight into the social contexts and personal preoccupations that informed Spark s writingThis book presents a detailed critical analysis of a period of significant formal and thematic innovation in Muriel Spark s literary career. Spanning the mid-1950s to the mid-1970s, it identifies formative instances of literary experimentation in texts including The Comforters, The Driver s Seat and The Public Image, with an emphasis on metafiction and the influence of the nouveau roman. As the first critical study to draw extensively on Spark s vast archives of correspondence, manuscripts and research, it provides a unique insight into the social contexts and personal concerns that dictated her fiction.
