JOHN BANVILLE: Contemporary Irish Writers

Autor Neil Murphy
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 17 mai 2018
This critical study of John Banville's major work considers the manner in which his fiction intersects with a variety of ideas relating to art. It also proposes that Banville's fiction represents a significant development in Irish writing, and contemporary prose fiction, in its advanced reconstitution of the self-reflexive form.

Recenzii

“[S]cholarly solid, shrewd, and inspiring. The broadly conceived take on John Banville’s writing through and with the visual arts is exceedingly valuable and so is the pioneering exploration of the Benjamin Black novels and the detective genre. This monograph is an important contribution to Banville studies and to the broader field of Irish studies.”
“[A]lerts both readers and scholars of Banville’s fiction to the ways in which ekphrasis is deployed innovatively and pivotal to the unique ontological modes of the storyworlds in these novels. This book undoubtedly opens new pathways to reading Banville’s work.”
