Caught, Back, Concluding

Henry Green

An omnibus edition of three quintessential novels from a unjustly neglected master of early 20th century literature. Features a new and unexpurgated text of Caught, published here for the first time.

Dazzling, daring and full of original insight and wit, Henry Green offers a unique view of a class-ridden Britain enduring both war and its aftermath. In the apocalyptic atmosphere of the Blitz, so brilliantly evoked in Caught, gossip spreads like wildfire and the lives of two men are torn apart. In Back, Charley, an amputee, returns from a prison camp to his village and the grave of the woman he loved. Concluding was Green’s own favourite of his novels and tells the story of a summer’s day and a schoolgirl’s disappearance.

The text of Caught used in this edition is based on Green’s original manuscript, which was censored by the publisher on first publication, but can be read now for the first time in unexpurgated form.
