About This Book

A compact critical study profiles the author’s life and reputation, noting education, wide travels, and English roots while emphasizing his deliberate refusal of publicity. It surveys dramatic and fictional work in separate chapters, treats shorter sketches, and probes the tension between artistic method and social advocacy that narrows but defines his readership. The writer’s relationship to contemporary publics and critical tastes is examined, and his stylistic aims and moral preoccupations are assessed. The volume ends with a focused appraisal of artistic technique and a practical bibliography and index for further reference.
