across the span of his literary output Provides a vital
interpretive framework for understanding Cormac McCarthy's literary
and philosophical perspectives Offers a systematic study of
distinctly philosophical themes present in Cormac McCarthy's work
Analyses how Cormac McCarthy offers a unique synthesis of
metaphysical and materialist themes Explains the intersection of
philosophical and literary themes in McCarthy's work in an
accessible way This book explores Cormac McCarthy's literature
(novels, plays, screenplays, philosophical essays and unpublished
archive material) to uncover a distinct literary philosophy. More
specifically, this study elucidates how McCarthy articulates a
philosophical perspective which pivots on philosophical themes of
mortality, the political, education, nihilism, materialism and
language. Tracing these themes from the publication of his earliest
novels to his most recent philosophical essays, this book argues
that McCarthy offers a unique synthesis of spiritual, ethical and
materialist concerns, the understanding of which is essential for
coming to terms with his literature.
