Book description
The first full-length study to be published of a writer who made one of the most interesting contributions to fiction since the war. The authors not only manage to make Golding more accessible, but also bring out his real virtues as a novelist. This is a very thorough and deeply felt study of Golding’s work. It strikes a balance between analysis and evocation, and the actual prose is a pleasure to read. The authors are sensitive and articulate critics steeped in their subject, and they provide detailed readings of the five novels which are models of this kind of criticism.
