Critical Insights : Lord of the Flies

Salem Press Editors, Sarah Fredericks

This book discusses William Golding's Lord of the Flies, including its initial critical reception, the moral issues it raises, its film adaptations, and the ways in which commentary about the novel has evolved in the six decades since its first publication. It also explores the ways the novel has been received on both sides of the Atlantic and examines its themes, characters, and structures from a diversity of critical perspectives.
