London: Thomas Nelson, n.d. (?1950). hardback. Fine, blue calfbound limp boards in grey slipcase, no d/j, gilt spine titling bright; text block firm, pages crisp and unmarked; top edge blue. (Nelson's Classics). 18mo (170 x 100 / 6_"" x 4""). Sir Walter Scott introduces the novel by the famed Irish writer Oliver Goldsmiths, one of the most widely-read books in the Victorian era. Often described as a sentimental novel, it displays the belief in the innate goodness of human beings. But it can also be read as a satire on the sentimental novel and its values, as the vicar's values are apparently not compatible with the real ""sinful"" world. It is only with Sir William Thornhill's help that he can get out of his calamities. Moreover, an analogy can be drawn between Mr. Primrose's suffering and the Book of Job. This is particularly relevant to the question of why evil exists.
