Overview
The capstone volume of the Library of America edition of John Updike's novels contains some of the master stylist and social observer's most ambitious works. In the Beauty of the Lilies (1996) opens in 1910, when Clarence Wilmot, a Presbyterian minister in Paterson, NJ, experiences a devastating loss of faith. This moment of crisis sets in motion an eighty-year, multigenerational saga whose subject is nothing less than the American Century and modernity itself, seen through the fluctuating fortunes of a single representative family. In Gertrude and Claudius, Updike boldly imagines the long backstory to the world's most famous play, prompting readers to revisit and perhaps revise their judgments about Hamlet's notorious uncle and mother. Drawing on the twelfth- and fifteenth century sources for Hamlet, but also inventing a new history for Claudius in his far-flung travels across medieval Europe, Updike creates a vivid and surprising origin story for the fabled rottenness in Shakespeare
