I don't really think of books as having a single worldview
unless they're written from a single point of view. So I'd
suggest that any book which is written from a multiple
viewpoint contains multiple worldviews, some of which will be
contradictory (hopefully, or there'll be a decided lack of
tension).
I also think that authors are consistently inconsistent with
their output. It's virtually impossible to be
otherwise.

***************
I'm not all that familiar with many authors'
lives, so
I can't really answer that. But one thing I have
seen
over and over is a shift in themes and mood in
an
author's works over time. Hammett and Chandler
come
to mind.
