520 $a"The Literature of Guilt examines the development of this movement through major works of twentieth century fiction from Swift's 'Voyage to the Houyhnhnms' when Gulliver gazed into the pool to Conrad's Heart of Darkness, Mann's Death in Venice, Orwell's 1984, Camus' The Fall, and Golding's Lord of the Flies. Swift's alienated protagonist is peculiarly pertinent to each of the characters being appraised: to Marlow detecting the fraud of western civilization in distant places, to Aschenbach on a voyage that disconcertingly merges self-discovery with self-destruction, to Orwell's brainwashed victim who ends up loving Big Brother as Gulliver does the Houyhnhnms, to Camus' erstwhile lover of humanity turned mordant misanthrope, to Golding's castaways cruelly discovering that there is no recourse from corrupt civilization. In charting these negative epiphanies, Reilly reveals the shocking and pitiless disclosures of modern literature, exposing the ways modern writers challenged the assumptions of their predecessors and worked under the imprint of a less hopeful, less trusting time. His work not only illuminates what has become one of the most salient characteristics of modern literature but offers subtle new readings of some of the most outstanding works of our century"--Book jacket.
