The author goes on to argue that the novel is the literary form most apt for the exploration of betrayal in its social, political and psychological dimensions. The significance of this thesis comes into focus in terms of a number of recent developments -- most notably, the economic downturn (and the political and civic betrayals implicated therein) and revelations of the Catholic Church's failure in its pastoral mission.--Provided by publisher 650 0 $a Irish fiction $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a English fiction $x History and criticism. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008103112 650 0 $a Betrayal in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99010416 650 7 $a Betrayal in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00830945 650 7 $a English fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00910817 650 7 $a Irish fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00978981 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180117013822.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=82EFD6A0FB5411E7891C5F6197128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
