| Abstract | "This critical study of John Banville's major work considers the manner in which his fiction intersects with a variety of ideas relating to art. It also proposes that Banville's fiction represents a significant development in Irish writing, and contemporary prose fiction, in its advanced reconstitution of the self-reflexive form"-- Provided by publisher. |
