The Way of All Flesh 
by Samuel Butler (1835-1902) 


The Way of All Flesh (1903) is a semi- 
autobiographical novel by Samuel Butler 
which attacks Victorian-era hypocrisy. 
Written between 1873 and 1884, it traces 
four generations of the Pontifex family. It 
represents the diminishment of religious 
outlook from a Calvinistic approach, 
which is presented as harsh. Butler dared 
not publish it during his lifetime, but when 
it was published it was accepted as part 
of the general revulsion against 
Victorianism. (Wikipedia)
