Street, G. S.: The Trials of the Bantocks. v1. 28 Feb 2019
The Trials of the Bantocks
BY G. S. Street (1867–1936) An episodic novel: a satire about a snobbish wealthy British family in the late nineteenth century, as written by a groveling unabashed admirer, whose position is never quite explained (poor relation? secretary? live-in toady?). ===================== An excerpt: Spoiler:
===================== George Slythe Street (18 July 1867 – 31 October 1936) was a British critic, journalist and novelist. He was associated with William Ernest Henley and the “counter-Decadents” on the staff of the National Observer. In 1914 he was appointed to the office of the Lord Chamberlain as Examiner of Plays. Street is perhaps best known for his 1894 novel, The Autobiography of a Boy, which satirized contemporary aesthetes Oscar Wilde and Lord Alfred Douglas, and the Decadent movement of the late nineteenth century.
