Strong. ***'There are so many books about the English Novel already in existence that an addition to their number may seem to call for an explanation. We are confident that this book is justified by its unusual aim and method, which distinguish it from any previous volume. It differs in aim, because Mr. Verschoyle has not compiled just another catalogue of the achievements of English novelists, major and minor, through the five centuries during which English novels have been written, but has attempted to trace the development of the English novel, from its primitive origins to its contemporary complexity, in terms of the contributions of its twenty-five most important exponents - the book, in fact, provides a bird's-eye view of the novel's progress. It differs in method, because it is not the work of a single writer but of twenty of the most distinguished of contemporary novelists, each of whom provides a chapter in judgment on a great predecessor.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper). ***A really nice example of this anthology, with contributions from many of the significant literary writers of the inter-war period, including Graham Greene. Very hard to find now in the original complete dustwrapper. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.…
