2 I use the expression in the sense, given by Jean Schlumberger, to that literary school which treats material human misery in undertones of populist self‐pity.

3 I find a criticism of the Road to Wigan Pier by an official of the National Union of Mineworkers quoted by Crick (p. 183) very telling from this point of view. ‘He could have gone to any of a thousand respectable working‐class houses. But he doesn’t do that. He goes to a doss house, just like he’s down and out in Paris… Did he have a taste for that sort of thing?’.
