Reviewed by
MIRIAM GUTENBERG.

MIRIAM GUTENBERG.
To judge from the rash of novels
centering on the reign of King
Charles II, the husbands were God
fearing but dull and the women
were uniformly on the lookout for
amorous adventures.
The latest of these, concerning
the adventures of one Lady Shelton,
boasts an additional twist. In addi-
tion to being a passionate beauty,
Lady Shelton has a fair for highway
robbery-just to alleviate the bore
dom of country life, you understand.
For the first IS pages, Lady Skel-
ton is restless ghost. The story
begins with the destruction of
Maryiot Cells by Nazi bombs and
then works back generation by gen.
Grafton as Shelton descendants feel
the clammy presence of the wicked
spirit. Finally, the reader reaches
the 18th century and the day of
Lady Skeletons marriage. From
then on. the pages are splattered
with gore until Lady Shelton, hav-
ing been responsible for the death
of her partner in love and crime,
is killed by the only man she ever
loved.
Except for the rather unusual and
undeniably creepy first rs pages, the
novel adheres closely to the usual
pattern of period pieces. 1t has al
ready been made into a British
movie.

but the deed was, on the whole. inn
pulsive. The Venetian heads of state
were serious about it.
In England, the universities, the
seats of learning, sometimes partook
of the custom. A book which had
considerable influence on English
history, the work of Robert Parsons,
Cardinal Allen and others on the
succession to the crown, was burned
at Oxford in general loyal" bon
fire in 1858. 1t had originally been
suppressed by Queen Elizabeth, was
reprinted in 1881 when the success
sion of the Duke of York was under
consideration, but fell again into
disfavor. A book, unlike a man, may
be condemned and executed for the
same crime more than once.
1t is of accidental significance, of
course, that the last book officially
burned in England was The Present
Crisis In Regard to America Con-
sidered" in the year ITS. But it is
an accident which we may contem-
plate with a certain reverence for
Providence. Our Nation, coming
into existence out OF that "crisis, +"
put itself on record as defending
religion and the press in one joint

the freedom to write, publish and

human conscience.
Our religions and also our morals

attacks under cover on our free
press, but the enraged outcry which
always greets these movements has
been impressive. Today, we can
celebrate religion through the me-
dium of books with no thought of
paradox. and all the Christian
churches may join hands with the
Jews in making the observance.

Religion and the freedom to write

Europe has been immemorably
the scene of assaults on freedom
of thought carried out by assaults
on the physical bodies of books
There are substantial literary his
tories which deal solely with books
condemned to be burned. The
Greeks burned the works of Pro-
tagros. 1t was one of the normal
functions of the Roman Senate to
condemn books to death by fire
Livy and Tacitus both mention in
stances of such condemnation.
The practice survived pagan
Rome. In medieval Europe there
was hardly state which did not
make use of fire against books. The
works of Abelard were officially
burned. So were those of Huss. BY
the order of the Pope, Martin Lu-
theirs writings were condemned to
the flames and Luther retaliated by
burning the papal bull and other
church documents. Calvin burned
Servetus' works. The Reformation
ushered in veritable conflagration,
both sides contributing. This is
human history. Books were the
victims.
1t may illuminate our perspective
on the efficacy of such measures to
remember that the first book off,
cially burned in England was the
Holy Gospels. William Tyndale's
English translation, on which the
revised edition is substantially based
was publicly burned before Old St
Pauls in London with JUNCTION and

Another World War has ended.
And the end of the second, like the
end of the first, has been followed
by a frightening upsurge of crime.
The time is indeed ripe to bring
to the attention of the general pub
lie G. B. Shaw's famous essay on
Imprisonment. This Is its first pub
lication in book form. 1t was writ
ten after the First World War as
a preface to Lord Olivier's report
for the British Labor Research Of
flee on contemporary English and
American prison conditions.
The title is significant. For Shaw
imprisonment as it is now practiced
is far more criminal than any of the
actions we misguidedly seek to pun
ish by it. From the criminals point
of view, imprisonment is far worse
than the rack, stake or pillory; they
at least were short and to the point.
From the standpoint of the public
conscience, however, imprisonment
is an easier way out. Civilized peo-
pie, ashamed to justify torture, are
nevertheless unwilling to accept the
moral responsibility to reform the
criminal Imprisonment is thus the
result of moral compromise. Shaw
pursues this thesis under such pro-
vocative chapter heads as Giving
Them He'll" Crime Cannot Be
Killed by Kindness" The Ruth
lessness of the Pure Heart" Most
Prisoners No Worse Than Our
selves" and The Sentimentality of
Revenge"
The Shavian solution for the prob
lem of crime hinges on the recogni-
ton of crime as disease and Grim
inals as invalids, either durable or
incurable. We treat sick people
with special indulgence and consid-
Grafton, why then do we not treat
our moral invalids" so? Why do
we shut people up for long stretches
of time. where their lives are use
lessly suspended and they are under
the worst influences and in the
worst company? Most unfortunate
of all, the stigma attaching to a
prison term forfeits any honorable
means of livelihood to the prisoner.
1t is only a question of time before
he is forced to seek criminal en-
ployment again.
Vengeance is mine, saith the
Lord. We must, says Shaw. scrap
the retributive revengefuD and
deterrent (terroristic) penal laws
and substitute more righteous re-
formatory laws.
Shaw's arguments are couched in
plain talk. They strip through the
layers upon layers of apathy in
crusted tradition which cucumber
our criminal procedure to the bared
heart of the matter. The solutions
are so bare that they are shocking.
Kill or cage the incurables, and
provide tutelage similar to the Army
and Navy system for those who can
not live unregulated lives. In this
essay, as in everything else Shaw
writes, he coats his moral pills SO
tastily the reader is carried away by
his rational enthusiasm. Here
again is the one and only. the in
imitable G. B. Shaw-piercingly
clear, stimulating, shocking, forth
right. Here again he displays his
remarkable genius for particular
izing hazy concepts-of justice and
injustice, crime and punishment
down to the lowest common denom-
inator. so that even a child can
grasp everything. This is book
every one should own, or at least
read.
