Mervyn Peake has been acclaimed as an author of fantasy and as an
illustrator, but as yet has received little attention from literary
critics. This book is the first to analyse all of Peake’s works of
fiction, including his two picture story books and novella as well as the
Gormenghast series and Mr Pye. Alice Mills pinpoints the fictional quirks
that render Mervyn Peake such a memorable fantasy writer, examining his
literary works from Jungian, Freudian, Kristevan and post-Jungian
perspectives. Stuckness in the Fiction of Mervyn Peake will be of interest
to fantasy lovers and students of fantasy as a genre, as well as those
exploring the psychoanalysis of literary texts.
