About this book
Lars Porsena is also called The Future of Swearing and Improper Language on its title page. The text says that of recent years in England there has been a noticeable decline of swearing and foul language. The text says the triumph of Protestantism is, perhaps, best shown by the decline into vapidity of “By George!”, the proudest oath an Englishman could once swear.
The text says it has been stated with detail and persistence that in the late summer of 1918 an Australian mounted unit sensationally rediscovered the actual bones of St George. The text suggests that a work might treat of the prospects of Pure Swearing, meant as swearing without a practical element, with only a musical relation between the images it employs. The text says no critic of this essay will be satisfied unless fuller mention is made of James Joyce’s Ulysses than has here been given.
