Overview: 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. Green’s novels are often described as being among the most important works of English modernist literature, along with those of Virginia Woolf. His best-regarded novels are Living (1929), Loving (1945) and Party Going (1939) (now often published together).
Genre:Fiction /Classics
Back
Back tells the story of Charley Summers, a young Englishman who comes back from Germany, where he was detained as a POW for three years after having been wounded in combat in France. Due to his wound, Charley’s leg had to be amputated. While he was prisoner, Rose, the woman he loved, died; moreover, Rose was married to another man, so Charley cannot even express his bereavement for fear of scandal. Charley calls on Rose’s father, Mr Grant, who encourages him to make acquaintance with a young widow. When he does, he is astonished at the uncanny resemblance between the woman, whose name is Nancy Whitmore, and Rose. He discovers that Nancy is the illegitimate daughter of Mr Grant, who sent Charley to her thinking he might console her for the death of her husband, an RAF pilot killed in action. The rest of the novel describes the complex and troubled relation between Charley and Nancy, as it unfolds against the background of a war-torn Britain.
Loving, Living, Party Going
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.
