The Ballad of Peckham Rye
Muriel Spark's major concern in The Ballad of Peckham Rye—as in many of the rest of her novels and short fiction—is the problem of class and class-consciousness and its effect on morality and the relations between the sexes. Though Spark has claimed not to be a very political writer, this novel nevertheless concentrates on the disastrous effects of class and economics on love and morality.
