Summary: "Moral Poison in Modern Fiction" by R. Brimley Johnson is a critical examination of contemporary literature, written in the early 20th century, likely during the interwar period. The book addresses the moral implications of modern fiction, focusing on how popular novels and dramas influence societal values and individual morality. Johnson argues that many current narratives promote destructive ideologies regarding love, sex, and human relationships, leading to what he describes as "moral poison." In this thought-provoking work, Johnson critiques various authors and genres that he believes contribute to a declining moral standard. He articulates concerns about the portrayal of sexual freedom and the impact of war on youth, suggesting that unchecked desires and the glorification of transient passions lead to a loss of true love and depth in relationships. Through a series of essays, he reflects on the consequences of literature that prioritizes sensationalism and physical expression over emotional integrity and genuine connection. Johnson ultimately calls for a reevaluation of the narratives we consume, arguing for literature that upholds traditional values of loyalty, respect, and self-control.
