He writes with equal authority about the frustrations of life in remote corners of Ireland, and the hollowness of life in prosperous London suburbs. An Anglo-Irishman, Trevor is admired on both sides of the Atlantic, and both sides of the Irish Sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eWilliam Trevor: A Study of His Fiction\u003c\/i\u003e, first published in 1990, Gregory Schirmer analyses Trevor’s novels (such as \u003ci\u003eA Standard of Behaviour\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eFools of Fortune\u003c\/i\u003e) and short stories in detail. He argues that Trevor’s writing is important, both in terms of its mastery of fictional techniques and of the profoundly moral vision that informs it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHis view of twentieth-century men and women is subtle and complex, generated by the tension between a humanistic faith in compassion and \"connection\", and an opposing, more realistic assessment of contemporary society as alienated and disconnected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47608284741868,"sku":"9781138821408","price":353.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781138821408-william-trevor-routledge-revivals.jpg?v=1778194315","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/william-trevor-routledge-revivals-by-gregory-a-schirmer-9781138821408","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
