"I am the enfant awful of books and science. EASILY cannot, and I understand I cannot, obtain the literary and technological big-wigs to give me a shilling, I can, and I understand I can, heave bricks in to the middle of these." With The Method of All Flesh, Samuel Butler threw a subversive brick at the smug face of Victorian domesticity. Posted in 1903, per annum after Butler's loss of life, the novel is a thinly disguised account of his own child years and youngsters "in the bosom of your Christian family". With irony, wit, and sometimes rancor, he savaged contemporary values and beliefs, turning inside-out the conventional novel of your family's life through several generations. The Method of All Flesh instructs the storyplot of Ernest Pontifex and his challenges with Victorian mores, his restrictive, highly religious family, and Victorian modern culture itself. Butler is appreciated among the biggest of the anti-Victorians, whose ideas mirrored effectively the new, more liberal modern culture that was to come following loss of life of England's great queen, and the start of a new time.
