First Published in 1942, English Domestic Life presents an
anthology that gives as complete a picture as possible of the
English domestic scene during the last 200 years. With Fielding we
accompany an eighteenth-century family to the theatre to see Mr
Garrick in Hamlet; with Thackeray we see Mrs Rawdon Crawley going
to Court; with Meredith we taste the delights of wine; with
Galsworthy we enjoy a Forsyte dinner; and so on. The mass material
from which L. A. G. Strong has made this selection is enormous; he
has therefore been rigidly selective, and, believing that
representation of the subject is more important than representation
of authors, has made an anthology as entertaining as it is
instructive. Among many others, selections have been taken from the
work of Jane Austen, Dickens, Bennett, Walpole etc. This selection
is a must read for scholars and students of English literature.
First Published in 1949, The Sacred River attempts to present a
survey of James Joyce's work. In 1932 Mr Strong published an essay
in the course of which he suggested that Work in Progress was the
first full scale application to the novel of twentieth century
ideas on space and time, demanding from the reader a radical change
in practice. The essay was read by Joyce, and the theory
subsequently confirmed. From that point Mr Strong has continued his
study of Joyce. This work is limited to four main lines of
approach: interest in singing and singers, a passion with Joyce;
literature, in particular Shakespeare, Swift, Blake, and the
Romantic Movement, of which the author believes Finnegans Wake to
be the logical fulfilment; contemporary theories of psychology; and
Christian metaphysics. Mr Strong's first-hand acquaintance with
Dublin in the early nineteen-hundreds has been a further help, as
was his friendship with Yeats, A.E., and other Irish writers who
knew Joyce personally. The result is a stimulating and provocative
piece of criticism, of which we may safely say that it outruns its
modest programme. This book is a must read for scholars and
researchers of English literature.
