Regarded by many as one of the leading English novelists of the 20th century, Graham Greene published over 25 novels throughout the course of his writing career which spanned nearly 67 years. Although he objected to being described as a Catholic writer, Catholic religious themes are at the root of much of Greene’s writing, especially in four of his best-known novels: Brighton Rock (1938), The Power and the Glory (1940), The Heart of the Matter (1948), and The End of the Affair (1951); which have been named “the gold standard” of the Catholic novel. Greene’s reputation as a writer was cemented not only by the great Catholic novels, but by his thrillers (or “entertainments” as he termed them), with plots involving the intrigues of international politics and espionage.
