Loving, Living, Party Going.
Henry Green, whom W. H. Auden called 'the finest living English
novelist', is the most neglected writer of the last century and the one most
deserving of rediscovery by a new generation. This volume brings together
three of Henry Green's intensely original novels.
Loving explored class distinctions through the medium of love and
brilliantly contrasts the lives of servants and masters in an Irish castle
during World War Two, Living of workers and owners in a Birmingham
iron foundry. Party Going is a brilliant comedy of manners, presenting a
party of wealthy travellers stranded by fog in a London railway hotel while
throngs of workers await trains in the station below.
