This book, the work of Anglo-Saxon Mauriac scholars, aims at a fresh approach to the work of Francois Mauriac. Four categories cover new readings on Mauriac's work based on anthropological and psycho-critical approaches, a discussion of literary and technical aspects of his writings, a study of themes or periods of formative influence on Mauriac's intellectual and spiritual development and comparative analyses of the work of Claude and Francois Mauriac, and of Mauriac and D.H.Lawrence.
