Krutch, Joseph Wood | February 20, 1929 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information on the book "Joseph and His Brethren," by H.W. Freeman. In America, rural fiction is generally inspired by a feeling which can be most compendiously described as resentment, but the imagination of the Englishman or the Frenchman returns with a persistent affection to the contemplation of the farm. He is not necessarily romantic in any obvious sense and he does not always incline in the direction of pastoral prettification. Indeed the facts as he records them are not very different from those upon which the American insists, for both are likely to stress the narrow monotony of the routine and that terrible power which tilled land possesses of enslaving those who believe that they own it.
