".Originally presented by Mr. O'Faolain at Princeton in the form of the annual Christian Gauss lectures in criticism, these essays assert that to understand a work of art it is necessary to understand the author. With an intense concern for human values too often lacking in literary criticism, Mr. O'Faolain discusses the work of Evelyn Waugh, Aldous Huxley, Graham Greene, Virginia Woolf, Elizabeth Bowen, James Joyce, Ernest Hemingway, and William Faulkner. How each author replaced the hero of conventional fiction with a doomed or desperate protagonist of his own invention O'Faolain makes clear with wit, sympathy and a brilliant play of ideas that lead back to the works with enhanced appreciation."
