About this book

Written in secret over more than a decade and held back until after Butler's death, this novel traces four generations of the Pontifex family and settles a long private score with Victorian family life. Its center is Ernest Pontifex, a sensitive boy crushed under a sanctimonious clergyman father and a self-deceiving mother, who stumbles through misplaced faith, a disastrous marriage, and prison before slowly finding his own footing. Butler's dissection of religious hypocrisy, parental tyranny, and inherited character was so unsparing that he refused to print it while he lived. When it finally appeared in 1903 it helped shape the modern novel's deep suspicion of respectability.
