Title: The Spire Authors: Venue: Wikipedia Year: unknown Canonical: wiki:the-spire URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Spire Collector: wikipedia OA: true ABSTRACT The Spire is a 1964 novel by English author William Golding. "A dark and powerful portrait of one man's will", it deals with the construction of a 404-foot-high spire loosely based on Salisbury Cathedral, the vision of the fictional Dean Jocelin. In the novel, Golding utilises stream-of-consciousness writing with an omniscient but increasingly fallible narrator to show Jocelin's demise as he chooses to follow his own will as opposed to the will of God.
