William Trevor (Routledge Revivals) - A Study of His Fiction (Hardcover)

William Trevor is a master of contemporary fiction. He writes with equal authority about the frustrations of life in remote corners of Ireland, and the hollowness of life is prosperous London suburbs. An Anglo-Irishman, Trevor is admired on both sides of the Atlantic, and both sides of the Irish Sea.

In "William Trevor: A Study of His Fiction, "first published in 1990, Gregory Schirmer analyses Trevor s novels (such as "A Standard of Behaviour "and "Fools of Fortune") and short stories in detail. He argues that Trevor s writing is important, both in terms of its mastery of fictional techniques and of the profoundly moral vision that informs it. His view of twentieth-century men and women is subtle and complex, generated by the tension between a humanistic faith in compassion and "connection," and an opposing, more realistic assessment of contemporary society as alienated and disconnected.
