Reseña del libro "Muriel Spark, Existentialism and the Art of Death (en Inglés)"
Contextualises Muriel Spark's writings in the tradition of Christian existentialism and its insistence on 'being towards death' This book proposes that Christian existentialism and, in particular, the work of S ren Kierkegaard, helped shape Spark's religious commitments and her artistic innovations. Because of the prominence, after the Second World War, of the atheistic existentialism of Jean-Paul Sartre, it is often forgotten that existentialism was originally a Christian philosophy, shaped by followers of Kierkegaard such as Karl Jaspers and Gabriel Marcel. Craig traces in Spark's writings both the influence of Kierkegaard and of Spark's resistance to Sartre's co-option of existentialism to an atheistic agenda. Kierkegaard's analysis of the nature of the 'aesthetic' as a false mode of existence that has to be transcended by the ethical and then by the religious provides a fundamental structure for Spark's satirical analyses of the failings of the modern world. Key Features Provides detailed analyses of a substantial proportion of Spark's novels Explains the philosophies of Kierkegaard and Sartre designed for readers without specialist philosophical knowledge Re-reads major Spark works, such as The Ballad of Peckham Rye, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, Hothouse by the East River, Symposium, The Only Problem Analyses the ways in which Spark situates her plots within the major historical conflicts and social transformations of the twentieth century
