Between Form and Faith Graham Greene and the Catholic Novel

What is a ¿Catholic¿ novel? This book analyzes the fiction of Graham Greene in a radically new manner, considering in depth its form and content, which rest on the oppositions between secularism and religion. Sampson challenges these distinctions, arguing that Greene has a dramatic contribution to add to their methodological premises. Chapters on Greene¿s four ¿Catholic¿ novels and two of his ¿post-Catholic¿ novels are complemented by fresh insight into the critical importance of his nonfiction. The study paints an image of an inviting yet beguilingly complex literary figure.
