The Intertextuality of Joyce Cary's the "Horse's Mouth"

Focusing on Joyce Cary's novel, "The Horse's Mouth", this volume aims to provide an understanding of the novel's multiple intertexts (Blake, other artists, socio-political and feminist issues).

It also examines the novel's interdisciplinary approach and narrative technique which make possible a different reading of the novel.

Material from the Osborn Collection of Joyce Cary Manuscripts (included as an appendix) seeks to clarify his working process and choice of intertexts.
