Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Tristram Lacy: The Individualist When portions of this novel, in a more or less connected form, were appearing under a pseudonym in the pages of the Fortnightly Review, an important monthly journal went out of its way to suggest that certain of the events and characters were close copies from life. If the author, this journal said, did not mean his description of Startfield Hall as a description of a Settlement founded by Mr. Passmore Edwards, and if he did not mean his description of the earnest persons connected with it ´as an expose of the jealousy, littleness, and special weaknesses´ of a certain well-known lady (whose name I will not reproduce) and her friends, ´he has taken every measure in his power to produce that mistaken impression on his readers.´ Observations of this kind it is not always possible, or indeed necessary, to disprove. In this case I feel that an answer is desirable; and it happens to be exceptionally easy. Startfield Hall was suggested to me by a chance paragraph in the Liberty Review, the organ of the Liberty and Property Defence League. The paragraph mentioned the establishment of some new ´Settlement,´ and quoted a few words used by one of the lecturers, who described the upper classes as ´roaring with delight over the prospect of any new war.´ This was the only foot it provided out of which to construct this particular Hercules; and as to the personalities, and even the names, of the founders and supporters of the enterprise, I am to this day in complete ignorance of them. If their names were mentioned in the paragraph, they meant absolutely nothing to me. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
