This study of the work of William Golding focuses on Golding's language and symbolism, establishing the 1983 Nobel Prize winner as a modern allegorist in the tradition of Hawthorne, Melville, and Conrad. Informed by the critical theories of Edwin Honig and Angus Fletcher, Dickson's is an allegorical analysis of Golding's work and provides critical studies to include nine of his novels. From the somber (""Lord of the Flies"") to the comic (""The Paper Men""), Dickson finds integral to all the novels the motif of the quest into the nature of good and evil. Central themes include the importance of human compassion and the conflict between the humanistic and the scientific, between culture and technology, and between the spiritual and the rational. Dickson draws on his own correspondence with Golding as well as on a personal interview with the author to support his convincing conclusions regarding the meaning of Golding's work, and he makes effective use of Golding's nonfiction to reinforce his argument.

The Professor and the Madman: A Tale of Murder, Insanity, and the Making of the Oxford English Dictionary
"A narrative full of suspense, pathos and humor. . . . In this elegant book Winchester] has created a vivid parable, in the spirit of Nabokov and Borges. There is much truth to be drawn from it, about Victorian pride, the relation between language and the world, and the fine line between sanity and madness." -- Daniel Mark Epstein, Wall Street Journal"Splendid. . . . Simon Winchester could not have told it better." --The EconomistIn celebration of its 25th anniversary, an updated edition of the worldwide celebrated classic, featuring a new introduction by the author.Masterfully researched and eloquently written, The Professor and the Madman is an extraordinary tale of madness, genius, and the incredible obsessions of two remarkable men that led to the making of the Oxford English Dictionary--one of the most ambitious projects ever undertaken. As definitions were collected, the OED's overseeing committee, led by Professor James Murray, was stunned to discover that one man, Dr. W. C. Minor, had submitted more than ten thousand entries. But their surprise would pale in comparison to what they were about to discover when the committee insisted on honoring him. Dr. Minor, an American Civil War veteran, was also an inmate at an asylum for the criminally insane.
