Book Overview

""The Making of a Bigot"" is a book written by Rose Macaulay and published in 1914. The book is a satirical and critical commentary on the British society and its class system during the early 20th century. It tells the story of a young man named Arthur Prentice, who is born into a wealthy and privileged family. Arthur grows up with a sense of entitlement and superiority over others, which is reinforced by his family's social status and their disdain for those who are less fortunate.As Arthur grows older, he becomes increasingly intolerant and prejudiced towards people who are different from him, including immigrants, women, and people of lower social classes. He eventually becomes a bigot, holding extreme and irrational views that are harmful to society.Through Arthur's story, Macaulay exposes the flaws and injustices in the British class system, and the damaging effects of privilege and entitlement on individuals and society as a whole. The book is a scathing critique of the British upper class and their attitudes towards others, and a warning against the dangers of bigotry and prejudice.Overall, ""The Making of a Bigot"" is a thought-provoking and insightful commentary on the social and cultural issues of its time, and a timeless reminder of the importance of empathy, understanding, and tolerance in building a just and equitable society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
