Description
A study of major themes and motifs in Peake's works, taking in his prose (novels and short stories), poems, plays, illustrations and illustrated books for children. It finds an aporia at the root of his world: the part that yearns to rejoin the whole it is detached from cannot do so without ceasing to be a part.
Description
Sets the author's subject's well-known fiction in context with the poetry, plays, and book illustrations for which Mervyn Peake is equally lauded. This book traces motifs through Peake's works (islands, animals, and loneliness, for example) and explores in detail Peake's play, 'The Wit to Woo'.
