When "Lord of the Flies" appeared in 1954 it received unprecedented
reviews for a first novel. Critics used such phrases as
"beautifully writeen, tragic and provocative... vivid and
enthralling... this beautiful and desperate book... completely
convincing and often very frightening... its progress is
magnificient... like a fragment of nightmare... a dizzy climax of
terror... the terrible spell of this book..." E.M. Forster chose it
as the Outstanding Novel of the Year. "Time and Tide" touched upon
perhaps the most important facet of this book when it said, "It is
not only a first-rate adventure but a parable of our times, " and
articles on this and subsequent Golding novels have stressed these
twin aspects of Golding: a consummate control of the novel form,
and a superb all-encompassing vision of reality which communicates
itself with a power reminiscent of Conrad.
