Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Exton Manor Every other English reviewer who has written about "Exton Manor" has mentioned the name of Anthony Trollope, and, while I have no wish to come before American readers hanging on to the coat tails of a great man, and so gain a notice to which my own performance does not entitle me, I may yet gratefully admit my indebtedness to Trollope, and acknowledge myself a follower of his method, at least in "Exton Manor." In one respect it is not only Trollope whom I have tried to follow, but the whole body of English novelists of his date, who introduced you to a large number of people, and left you with the feeling that you knew them all intimately, and would have found yourself welcome in their society. That particular note of intimacy seems to be lacking in the fiction of the present day, and I should like to have it back. What Trollope did, and he was neither the first nor the greatest to do it, was to make up his groups from the people whose lives are lived chiefly in the English country, in the Cathedral or country town, in the Hall, the parsonage, and the "small house," which is perhaps more representative of English tastes and habits than any other. Life in such a community as is depicted in "Exton Manor" is just as typical of English social habits as it was in Trollope´s day. The tendency of those who have hitherto worked on the land to drift into the towns is not shared by the more leisured classes. Their tendency is all the other way - to forsake the towns for the country, - and improved methods of communication keep them more in touch with the world than they would have been fifty years ago.
