SAMUEL BUTLER
Victorian against the Grain
——
A Critical Overview
—·—
EDITED BY JAMES G.
PARADIS
Samuel Butler
(1835-1902),
Victorian satirist, critic,
and visual artist, possessed one of the most original
and inquiring imaginations of his age. The author
of two satires, Erewhon
(1872)
and The Way of All
Flesh
(1903),
Butler s intellectually adventurous
explorations along the cultural frontiers of his time
appeared in volume after eccentric volume. Author
of four works on evolution, he was one of the most
prolific evolutionary speculators of his time. He
was an innovative travel writer and art historian
who used the creative insights of his own paint¬
ing, photography, and local knowledge to invent,
in works
Vike
Alps and Sanctuaries
(1881),
a vibrant
Italian culture that contrasted with the spiritually
frigid experience of his High Church upbringing.
Despite Butler s range and achievement, there
remains surprisingly little contemporary analytical
commentary on his work. Samuel Butler, Victorian
against the Grain is an interdisciplinary collection of
essays that provides a critical overview of Butler s
career, one which places his multifaceted body of
work within the cultural framework of the Victo¬
rian age. The essays, taken together, discuss the
formation of Victorian England s ultimate poly¬
math, an artistic and intellectual ventriloquist
who assumed an extraordinary range of roles
-
as
satirist, novelist, evolutionist, natural theologian,
travel writer, art historian, biographer, classicist,
painter, and photographer.
