About Samuel Butler
English novelist and critic
Samuel Butler was an English novelist and critic. He is best known for the satirical utopian novel Erewhon (1872) and for The Way of All Flesh, a semi-autobiographical novel that has stayed in print since publication. Butler also wrote on Christian orthodoxy, evolutionary thought, and Italian art. He made prose translations of the Iliad and Odyssey, which are still consulted today.
