Items related to The Way of All Flesh (Wordsworth Classics)
This work is Samuel Butler's only novel. It is a semi-autobiographical account of Victorian upbringing, which is revealing about the habits of mind. It tells of Ernest Pontifex, his clergyman father, his mother who stoops to every kind of betrayal and his odious brother and sister.

Review:
It is read, I believe, mostly by the young, bent on making out a case against their elders, but Butler was fifty when he stopped working on it, and no reader much under that age is likely to appreciate the full beauty of its horrors. . . . Every contemporary novelist with a developed sense of irony is probably in some measure, directly or indirectly, indebted to Butler, who had the misfortune to be a twentieth-century man born in the year 1835 --The New Yorker
About the Author:
SAMUEL BUTLER (1835-1902), the freethinking iconoclast whom George Bernard Shaw deemed the greatest English writer of the latter half of the nineteenth century, also satirized Victorian society in Erewhon (1872) and Erewhon Revisited (1901). His work strongly influenced such writers as Virginia Woolf, E. M. Forster, and James Joyce.
