Patrick White: Twybom Moments of Grace

Authors

  • Brian Kiernan

Abstract

By the   end of the 1970s it was clear that critics were deeply divided over the   nature of Patrick White's work and his achievement. At that time, I attempted   to identify their fundamental differences by asking whether White was to be   seen as a traditional novelist with a religious or theosophical view of life,   or as a sophisticated, ironical modern-mistrustful of language and sceptical   of ever being able to express what might lie beyond words?1
