Abstract
In 1988 Muriel Spark celebrated her seventieth birthday. Interestingly, her writing achievement to that point may be divided into fairly if imperfectly even halves: poetry years and prose years. More accurately and specifically, by 1953 Spark had presumably completed her career as a poet, editor, and general woman of letters. In 1954 she contracted to write her first novel, The Comforters, which appeared in 1957. This division of labour is too tidy, admittedly, because in fact her edition of Emily Bronte’s letters appeared in 1954 and also because her short stories bridge the two periods and continue to the present time. The years 1953 and 1954 are nonetheless additionally significant as the occasions of Spark’s receptions into the Anglican and Roman Catholic Churches, respectively.
