The fairly young and entirely alive Mrs Shamefoot wants nothing more than to have a memorial stained-glass window erected in her honour in an English cathedral. From this premise, the inimitable Ronald Firbank extends his witty, eccentric
Vainglory, with a crowded cast of hilariously drawn characters – Winsome Brooks, Lady Anne Pantry, Miss Wookie, Mrs Barrow of Dawn and Mrs Steeple – a riot of parties, and a bottomless sense of the ridiculous. Admired by Auden, Forster and Waugh, Firbank”s fine comic skill, quick-fire dialogue and descriptive flights of fancy are perfectly captured in
Vainglory, his first and longest novel, as well as in two novellas included here:
Inclinations and
Caprice.
