Abstract

A Great Trilogy
Hazlitt, Henry | May 7, 1930 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "The Way Home" by the author Henry Handel Richardson. The book "The Way Home" is a solid and brilliant work in itself. The trilogy of which it is a part is probably the most important single piece of literature ever to come out of Australia; it takes its place among the handful of fiction masterpieces in English that have so far appeared in this century. The title of "The Way Home" remains ambiguous, and is perhaps intentionally ironic. The story seems commonplace enough when reduced to any blunt summary; but the importance of this trilogy does not rest on any originality of plot.
