Book excerpt: "An extremely interesting novelist, and a genuinely original one." - J. B. Priestley "One of the most interesting and one of the most important novelists now writing in England." - Hugh Walpole "At his best, he writes as well as any living man." - L.A.G. Strong One dark, foggy night, the eminent novelist Ivor Trent is on his way to a flat in a sordid London lodging house where he plans to begin work on his newest book, undisturbed by his friends, who all believe him to have gone abroad. On his way there, he glimpses a figure in the fog and is struck with terror when he realizes it is a man from the future. He collapses on the front step of the house, where the proprietor finds him, raving and delirious. Meanwhile, Arthur Rendell, a lonely widower who found solace in one of Trent's novels, determines to find out more about the writer and takes a room in the same house, where he meets Trent's friends, associates, and lovers. To Rosalie Vivian, Trent is a god; to Vera Thornton, he is a devil; to Denis Wrayburn, he heralds a new race of supermen. But who is Ivor Trent, really? And what is the explanation of the terrible vision he experienced in the fog? Rendell intends to find out, but he is unprepared for the devastating truth. Expanding on the themes first explored in his masterpiece "I Am Jonathan Scrivener" (1930) (also available from Valancourt Books), "This Was Ivor Trent" (1935) was a success in both England and America and was one of the best-known novels of Claude Houghton (1889-1961). Though admired by writers as diverse as P. G. Wodehouse, Henry Miller, J. B. Priestley, and Graham Greene, Houghton has fallen into neglect in the past half-century and awaits rediscovery by a new generation of readers. This edition is newly typeset from the first London edition and includes a new introduction by Mark Valentine.

Download or read book Chaos Is Come Again (Valancourt 20th Century Classics) written by Claude Houghton and published by . This book was released on 2015-12-15 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: England, 1932. The nation had just begun to recover from the wounds of the First World War when economic catastrophe struck with the Great Depression. It is against this background that Vernon Dexter arrives at the old manor house at Greystones, home of the notorious philanderer Sir Keith Petersley and his eccentric wife Lady Isabelle, to tutor their disabled son Eric. As he meets each of the strange members of the Petersley clan and gets caught up in the exciting dramas that unfold at Greystones, we see that the Petersleys are more than just a family: they are representative of an entire way of English life that is on the verge of extinction, to be replaced by a new age of chaos and greed. Inexplicably neglected today, Claude Houghton (1889-1961) was one of the finest English novelists of the interwar period. Though he is best known for novels like "I Am Jonathan Scrivener" (1930), psychological thrillers infused with philosophy and mysticism, in "Chaos Is Come Again" (1932), his theme is more overtly political. In light of the economic crises of recent years, today's readers will find Houghton's novel eerily prescient and his predictions about a society dominated by capitalistic greed remarkably accurate. "A criticism of life today, full of ideas and dramatic moments; it is genuine in its psychology and thrilling in its action." - "The Times" "I read "Chaos Is Come Again" with intense interest. It has not a dull page in it." - Compton Mackenzie "Had Emily Bronte written "Heartbreak House" the result might have been rather like Mr. Claude Houghton's richly inventive "Chaos Is Come Again."" - Norman Collins"
