Spanning the mid-1950s to the mid-1970s, it identifies formative instances of literary experimentation in texts including \u003ci\u003eThe Comforters\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Driver's Seat\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Public Image\u003c\/i\u003e, with an emphasis on metafiction and the influence of the \u003ci\u003enouveau roman\u003c\/i\u003e. As the first critical study to draw extensively on Spark's vast archives of correspondence, manuscripts and research, it provides a unique insight into the social contexts and personal concerns that dictated her fiction. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Bailey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474475973\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474475976\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/17\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.46d","brand":"James Bailey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075711004927,"sku":"9781474475976","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ed33407d-a5b4-4938-8bc6-b4451f6a7397.jpg?v=1685460986","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/muriel-sparks-early-fiction-james-bailey-9781474475976","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
