Dame Muriel Spark--the highly acclaimed Scottish
writer--published over twenty novels and more than a dozen
short-story collections from the late 1950s until her death in
2006. Two of her novels, "The Public Image" and "Loitering with
Intent," were short-listed for the Booker Prize, and another, "The
Prime of Miss Jean Brodie," was made into an Academy Award-winning
movie. David Herman here assembles an international group of
scholars to contexualize and analyze Spark's works, highlighting
the continuing relevance of her texts in the twenty-first
century.
With three new essays and a reworked introduction by the editor,
this volume expands a special issue of "Modern Fiction Studies"
dedicated to Spark and her writings. Organized thematically into
three parts, the volume includes essays that consider Spark as both
Scottish and world author, situate Spark in the broader contexts of
postwar culture, and offer exemplary readings of specific works
from various critical perspectives.
A resource for students and scholars alike, this volume provides
information about Spark's oeuvre while also featuring current,
theoretically informed interpretations of individual texts.
