Book Overview

The Benefactor: A Tale Of A Small Circle is a novel written by Ford Madox Hueffer and first published in 1905. The book tells the story of a wealthy man named Julius LeVallon, who decides to use his fortune to help a small circle of struggling artists and intellectuals in London. LeVallon's generosity and support for the group leads to a complex web of relationships and tensions, as the various members of the circle struggle to reconcile their individual ambitions with their loyalty to LeVallon. The novel explores themes of power, influence, and the nature of artistic expression, and is considered an important work of early 20th-century British literature. Hueffer, who later changed his name to Ford Madox Ford, was a prominent figure in the modernist literary movement and is known for his innovative narrative techniques and complex characterizations. The Benefactor is a compelling and thought-provoking work that offers a unique glimpse into the social and cultural milieu of turn-of-the-century London.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
