Rent The Way of All Flesh (Giant Thrifts)

Synopsis

[Butler] uses ordinary conversational English idiom, managing to seem perfectly at ease in it, and continually showing how rich in expressive turns and formulations and apt and vivid words it really is....This is the perfection of what one loosely thinks of as the 'plain' style and which of course is not 'plain' at all, but fashioned with hard labor and the most sensitive and resourceful skill. In writing Butler attained that 'grace after the flesh' for which Ernest pined in vain.
