Summary "Hugh Walpole: An Appreciation" by Joseph Hergesheimer is a literary critique and appreciation of the works of British novelist Hugh Walpole, written in the early 20th century. This book serves as both an analysis of Walpole's novels and a personal reflection on the emotional landscapes he explores, focusing on themes of inner and outer experiences in his storytelling. The text illustrates Walpole's ability to intertwine the tangible world with the subtler dimensions of human emotion, highlighting the significance of imagination in literature. In this appreciation, Hergesheimer examines various novels by Walpole, emphasizing his unique narrative style and his talent for capturing the complexities of both character and place. Hergesheimer argues that Walpole's works, such as "The Golden Scarecrow" and "The Secret City," transcend mere entertainment; they resonate on an emotional level, encapsulating both the innocence of childhood and the challenges of adult life. Through reflective analysis, Hergesheimer portrays Walpole as a novelist with profound insight into the human condition, capable of evoking beauty and truth through his narratives, thus securing his place as an enduring figure in literature.
