This article presents information about the book "Some Modern Novelists: Appreciations and Estimates," by Helen Thomas Follett and Wilson Follett. This collection of thoughtful essays upon the greater English novelists of the past half-century deserves a careful reading by students of contemporary literature. The theory appears to be that the war has suddenly knocked all the nonsense out of art and criticism and very clearly limited their range and quality. Whatever its limitations, certainly there has been no recent book of American criticism to compare with this book for readability and suggestiveness.
