Excerpt from The Man Who Was GoodHis psychological methods allure one by their seeming simplicity, quietly, with a delicate de liberation, he emphasises the outline of his char acters until with sudden swift decision, in the utterance of a phrase, the doing of some one of those small things that are life's real revelations, he shows you the soul of the man or woman whose externals he has so carefully portrayed. Half forgotten words and acts crowd in on the memory, as in The M an who was Good when Carew appeals to Mary to save his child - and her rival's. It needed the genius of Merrick to make one realise that the high-water mark of betrayal was reached not by the man's desertion of the woman Who loved him, but by his pitiful exploitation of that love.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
