A Novelist on Novels (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

Novelist W. L. George admires the novel because, among other things, “it expresses the mind of man, his pains that pass, his hopes that fade and are born again . . .” which all other book forms—history and economics, for example—fail to do. This collection of essays was controversial when published, as they deemed the English novel too prudish.

About the Author

Walter Lionel George (1882–1926) was an English writer who was born and raised in Paris, France. His novel A Bed of Roses, about a woman’s descent into prostitution, was enormously successful, allowing him to give up his journalism career to work on his books full time—writing over thirty books in his short career.
