Providing a comprehensive introduction to the life and works of Graham Greene, this volume presents a biographical account which draws upon current research on Greene. It surveys the contexts of his writing including among others the religious and political contexts, and the influences that helped to shape Greene's work. The second part of the book examines in some detail the major themes that occur in Greene's works, his techniques and imaginative preoccupations. A detailed critical analysis of "Brighton Rock", "The Power and the Glory" and "The Third Man" are given in this section. A reference section concludes the work providing a gazeteer, biographical list, a bibliography, list of further reading and a list of films.
