Landscapes of Encounter: The Portrayal of Catholicism in the Novels of Brian Moore





Since Moore's death in 1999, there have been no systematic pieces of full-length Moore scholarship. This book represents a timely literary treatment & fitting tribute to Moore as novelist. This is an in-depth study of the writings on Brian Moore that considers the convergence of literature with theology. Many critics have discussed how Moore's life is reflected in his works, while others have dismissed his fictions as simple narratives in the mould of classical realism. In this book, Gearon contends that Moore was one of the great observers of Catholicism in all its modern & historical controversy. This book builds upon five decades of Moore criticism & scholarship. It looks at most - if not all - of Moore's works spanning from "Judith Hearne" (1955) to "The Magician's Wife" (1997).
