Produced by The Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.fadedpage.net "A Novelist on Novels" by Walter Lionel George is a literary critique written in the early 20th century. This reflective work examines the state of the modern novel and the perceptions of authors in society. The book delves into the roles and responsibilities of novelists, emphasizing the significance of the novel as a medium that captures the essence of human experience and thought. The opening of the text sets the tone for George's contemplative exploration of the novelist's position in the literary landscape. He begins with a discussion of a conversation he had with a well-established author, revealing a tension between critics and contemporaries in the literary world. George critiques both the general public’s dismissive view of novelists as worthless and society’s ignorance of literature’s broader impact. He argues that while the novel may not be deemed "useful," it is vital in reflecting the human condition, shaping society, and igniting change. Through this preliminary discourse, the author invites the reader to consider the complexities and contradictions surrounding literary creation and appreciation.
