Graham Greene: A Study of Imagery in his Major Novels

Graham Greene was a great novelist of a special kind. Unlike many literary practitioners in this century, he did not experiment with language, subvert traditional narrative or choose exotic subjects. He simply used the powerful imagination that led him to speak of his work as a guided dream. That imagination fired at least during the great middle years, by intense moral and religious perception made Greene’s fiction the best realized portrayal in its time of the drama of the human soul.
