The Abbess of Crewe is a novel by Muriel Spark, published in 1974. The story focuses on the election of a new abbess in the Abbey of Crewe after the death of Hildegarde. Two candidates compete for the position: Alexandra, the subprioress, and Felicity, a woman with new ideas. Alexandra, with the support of Walburga and Mildred, uses a sophisticated listening system to be aware of everything that happens in the convent. The novel is a parody of the Watergate case and explores themes such as power, corruption and manipulation.
Dame Muriel Sarah Spark was a Scottish novelist, short story writer, poet and essayist.
