Material type:
TextSeries: Garland Reference Library of the Humanities; Vol. 1684Publication details: New York Garland 1999Description: xx,319pISBN: 0815312652Subject(s): English fiction-criticism | English literature | Greene, Graham, 1904-1991--Criticism and interpretationDDC classification: 823.912 Summary: This study reveals Greene in a dual role as author, one who projects literary experience into his view of life and subsequently projects both his experience and its "literary" interpretation into his fiction; and it defines two phases of Greenes novels through the changing relationship between writer and protagonists. The first phase progresses from acutely sensitive, self-divided young men somewhat like the young Greene to embittered, alienated characters ostensibly at great distance from their creator. The second phase (1939) includes a series of "portraits of the artist" through which Greene confronts more directly the tensions and conflicts of his private life.
