The Man Who Loved Children
In 1940 Christina Stead finished her American novel, THE MAN WHO LOVED CHILDREN. It was a good book and should have been a critical and financial success. However, readers ignored it. For many years it has been out of print, but it has just been republished by Holt, and from RANDALL JARRELL’S introduction to the new edition we have chosen the following excerpt. Mr. Jarrell, a leading literary critic and poet, is professor of English at the Woman’s College of the University of North Carolina.
