This study is the first to provide a detailed consideration of the impact of his political thought and involvements on his writings both fictional and factual. It also offers the first detailed consideration of Greene's involvements in espionage and British intelligence from the 1920s until the late-1980s. It incorporates material not only from his major fictions but also from his prolific journalism, letters to the press, private correspondence, diaries and working manuscripts and typescripts, as well as consideration of the diverse political involvements and writings of his extended family network. It shows how the full range of Greene's writings was inspired and underpinned by his fascination with the essential human duality of political action and religious belief, coupled with an insistent need as a writer to keep the political personal. 606 $aEuropean literature 606 $aLiterature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century 606 $aFiction 606 $aEuropean Literature 606 $aLiterary History 606 $aTwentieth-Century Literature 606 $aFiction Literature 615 0$aEuropean literature. 615 0$aLiterature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aFiction. 615 14$aEuropean Literature. 615 24$aLiterary History. 615 24$aTwentieth-Century Literature. 615 24$aFiction Literature. 676 $a809 700 $aBrennan$b Michael G$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0128652 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255242003321 996 $aGraham Greene: Political Writer$92511730 997 $aUNINA
