Abstract

The Talent of Charles Morgan
Fadiman, Clifton | July 20, 1932 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "The Fountain," by Charles Morgan. Morgan is not the supreme master that the pernicious London claque has made him out to be, but he is a beautiful and accomplished writer. He deals with very special characters and very special domains of life; but within his carefully chosen limits he works precisely and movingly. There are technical faults even in this exquisitely written book the conclusion is a little soft. He is so fine an artist, so adept an arranger of his scene, that his central idea becomes almost convincing.
