Faith and Fiction: The Novels of Callaghan and Hood
|
| Abstract |
The author examines the problems of dramatizing a religious vision in the realistic novel. She contends that Montreal author Hugh Hood’s solution to the problem is to redefine the fictional form to convey his orthodox Christian vision. She notes that Hood has explored the parable, the romance, the realistic novel and the fantasy-satire; in "The New Age" he attempts to combine the modes of the realistic novel and the Christian allegory. The author argues that the results, only partially successful, demonstrate again the internal tensions in the religious novel.
