| Summary/Abstract |
This study explores the twenty-one novels of Muriel Spark, from 'The Comforters' to Aiding and Abetting and includes discussion of her short stories, poems and literary criticism. 'The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie,' Spark's best known work, is placed in a much broader social and literary context than is usual. Her traditional designation as a Catholic writer is also questioned throughout this study. It shows that her hybrid religious background has enabled her to become essentially a diasporic writer with a fluid sense of self.
