A critical biography of the Victorian novelist and satirist by the noted critic and editor of "Punch". Although certain other critics have termed Butler a rebel against the constraints of Victorianism, Muggeridge maintains that Butler was, rather, the epitome of the Victorian writer._"A piquant study which 'debunks' the 'debunker' subtly and with psychological fairness, Mr. Muggeridge has achieved a thought- provoking, truthful, amusing portrait."
