 Rating:  - Three modernist classics reminiscent of Woolf and WaughThe three novels included in this collection all share Green's notable stylistic quirks and finely drawn characterizations, but the tableaus in which they are staged vary considerably--from a castle to a factory to a railway station hotel. The first two novels portray hard-working (if occasionally subversive) members of the underclass and their wealthy bosses--dim-witted, pampered, indolent, and undeserving to a fault. "Loving" is a typically British upstairs-downstairs drawing room ...

Dang by the way this comment has to appear under the edition introduced by John Updike, an insufferably smug charlatan of too long standing. A Connecticut Yankee in the Court of Himself. Or is that Pennsylvania? Who cares? Have you ever read any of this windy old geezer's book reviews? I'm not even going to mention the novels. In the name of Christ dude, unink the well.

The books are enjoyable and entertaining, and reading this has made me a great fan of Henry Green. Rating:  - Still Miss "Upstairs Downstairs?"If you are one of the legions of fans of one of the Public Broadcasting System's all-time favorite Masterpiece Theater shows, "Upstairs, Downstairs,"courtesy of the British Broadcasting Company, of course, have I got good news for you. You see, there was this now little-known, early 20th century British writer, Henry Green, who was considered a major competitor of the young Evelyn Waugh's in the British society novel sweepstakes. And Green appears to have taken precisely the worlds of upstairs, downstairs, ... Read More Rating: - Green tackles the big subjectsHave you ever sat and thought, man, I wish someone would write a book about living? And possibly loving? Well, Henry Green has gone out and done just that. I had never thought that a book about going to parties might be necessary, but after reading it I think that Mr. Green has indeed performed a valuable service. This wonderful collection of novels is, quite frankly, a comprehensive exploration, and no new books need be written on any of these subjects. In any case, the writing made my jaw drop in ...
