Politics and History in William Golding: The World Turned Upside Down (Volume 1),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Politics and History in William Golding provides a much needed politicized and historicized reading of William Goldings novels as a counter to previous, universalizing criticism. Paul Crawford argues that an understanding of fantastic and carnivalesque modes in Goldings work is vital if we are to appreciate fully his interrogation of twentiethcentury life.Goldings early satirical novels question English constructions of national identity in opposition to Nazism and the totalitarian personality. For Crawford, Golding can and must be studied in the wider European tradition of literature of atrocity. His early novels, especially Lord of the Flies, are preoccupied with atrocity, whereas the later work betrays a greater concern for the status of language and literature.In Goldings later fiction, such as Darkness Visible, the fantastic and carnivalesque are used in an increasingly nonsatirical manner to complement first modernist and then postmodernist selfconsciousness and indeterminacy. Even his critique of class and religious authority, which carries through all of his fiction, gives way to more lighthearted productionsa symptom of which is his crude, absurd attack against the English literary industry in The Paper Men. This reduction of satire marks a decline in Goldings political commitment and the production of more complex and arguably less satisfying novels.The fantastic and carnivalesque are foundational to both the satirical and nonsatirical approaches that mark Goldings early and late fiction. No previous study has analyzed this structure that is so central to his work. Politics and History in William Golding examines this writers work more fully than it has been studied within the convoluted context of the last half of the twentieth century. Crawford directly links Goldings various deployments of the fantastic and carnivalesque to historical, political, and social change.
