Items related to Julien Green: The Great Themes
The themes that are interwoven like leimotive in Julien Green's Journal--love, death, art, dreams, water, etc.--are also abundantly present in his novels. They are bound together like threads in a tapestry, an image that Green uses so effectively in his oeuvre. Just as one may follow a thread and thus discern its function in relation to the whole, so may one follow a theme throughout the rich gamut of Julien Green's fiction and arrive at a deeper understanding of his art. This critical study is complemented by a companion work, A Thematic Concordance of Julien Green's Journal (Summa Publications), that has proven useful for Green scholars.

About the Author:
Kathryn Wildgen is Professor of French Emerita at the University of New Orleans. She now works as an freelance author and creative writer in the New Orleans area.
Review:
(Wilgen) looks for the deeper ways in which thematic threads connect, and she reveals patterns not previously explored by Green scholars...we are indeed in Kathryn Wildgen's debt for this important new achievement in Green studies. Reminding us of the centrality of the motivation for self-discovery in Julien Green's fiction, she helps us see that 'for Green, every work...is a confession made to a stranger, his reader, but especially the stranger that he is to himself.' --South Atlantic Review
