“It is not wonderful that such a man as Butler should be the author of ‘Erewhon,’ a shrewd and biting satire on modern life and thought—the best of its kind since ‘Gulliver’s Travels.’ … To lash the age, to ridicule vain pretension, to expose hypocrisy, to deride humbug in education, politics, and religion, are tasks beyond most men’s powers; but occasionally, very occasionally, a bit of genuine satire secures for itself more than a passing nod of recognition. ‘Erewhon,’ I think, is such a satire.” —Augustine Birrell, in The Speaker.
