Beschreibung
"FROM A VIEW TO A DEATH" (1933) is set at a dilapidated English country [...] brings together a miscellany of country and city types: spoiled, shy Mary Passenger, whose father hopes she will marry into money to help support Passenger Court; ambitious Zouch, who imagines himself an Ubermensch; and Major Fosdick, secretly cross-dressing when not out riding.(V. S. Pritchett describes the book as featuring the undesirable artist among the speechless fox hunters. ) Powell wrote this when he was 27 years old; he mocks with gusto the prejudices and mindlessness of English landed gentry. But as the story moves along, suffering adds humanity to his caricatures, even the objectionable country squire.
