Authentic Freedom in the Novels of Graham Greene
This lecture explores how the genre of narrative is uniquely useful in showing the nature of true freedom. Three of Graham Green’s “Catholic novels,” The Power and the Glory (1940), The Heart of the Matter (1948), and The End of the Affair (1951) are discussed as examples of the narrative depiction of the interplay of human freedom and divine grace.
