ABSTRACT
It is Edmund Fuller who has, in recent years, expressed very strongly the idea that great books, good books, are books which have great and good people behind them. Now his thesis is convincing, and there is small argument to be brought against it, for it is only those with sound ideas, sound beliefs, and more than this, that rare form of creative goodness who can discuss the problems of life in such a manner as to endow these problems with sufficient universality that they become good and indeed worthwhile reading.
