"If Edward Driffield, the misty and pathetic hero of Mr. Maugham's witty and scandalous novel, is Thomas Hardy, and everybody seems to think he is, then Mr. Maugham has made a contribution of no small importance to our understanding of Hardy. Not that he needs to be taken literally in all the details of his merciless sketch, and not that he has failed to take safe cover behind a falsification of the facts....'Cakes and Ale' is slight, very slight; but it abounds with observations and epigrams that are always clever, always bitter, and frequently wise."Maugham, W. Somerset is the author of 'Cakes and Ale' with ISBN 9780375725029 and ISBN 0375725024.
