Synopsis

Robert Hugh Benson was an Anglican priest who also wrote Christian works. From the preface: "I am perfectly aware that this is a terribly sensational book, and open to innumerable criticisms on that account, as well as on many others. But I did not know how else to express the principles I desired (and which I passionately believe to be true) except by producing their lines to a sensational point. I have tried, however, not to scream unduly loud, and to retain, so far as possible, reverence and consideration for the opinions of other people. Whether I have succeeded in that attempt is quite another matter."

About this title

Review:

"Though it precedes them, the book is the genre of Orwell's 'Nineteen Eighty Four' and Huxley's 'Brave New World'." --The Catholic Times, 20 January, 2002
