- Novel Style: Ethics and Excess in English Fiction since the 1960s, a 104,000-word monograph, is the product of seven years’ research and writing, including the consultation of unpublished material at the Anthony Burgess Foundation. It sets out to challenge and reconcile the opposing approaches of neo-humanism and ‘Theory’-driven New Ethics in a study of six major post-war/contemporary authors not typically discussed within ethical frameworks, re-conceptualizing them as stylists and ethicists. It argues for a phenomenology of style that does not over-rely on notions of character and interiority (contra neo-humanism), and returns the author to centre-stage (contra the New Ethics).
