PETER FAULKNER Angus Wilson. Mimic and Moralist
London England, Secker & Warburg, 1980. First Edition, Binding: Cloth, Fine/Very Good/fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall 0436151758 Hardback Angus Wilson burst upon the literary world in 1949 with his volume of short stories, The Wrong Set, which was followed a year later by Such Darling Dodos. But in the ensuing twenty years it is as a novelist that he has won international fame. Mr. Faulkner charts and pays tribute to the many academic distinctions Professor Wilson has had bestowed on him in many lands. The author's study is no panegyrc. Admiration is tempered at times by sharp criticism, but as he leads his readers through the seven novels, beginning with Hemlock and After and ending with As It By Magic, he makes clear his belief that Angus Wilson is among the very few truly significant novelists to have arisen in the post-war years. .
