Note
The author was a descendant of the poet William Cowper.
The author's father was vicar of Montacute, Somerset for 32 years.
First line:
From Waterloo Station to the small country town of Ramsgard in Dorset is a journey of not more than three or four hours, but having by good luck found a compartment to himself, Wolf Solent was able to indulge in such an orgy of concentrated thought, that these three or four hours lengthened themselves out into something beyond all human measurement.
Ramsgard is based on Sherborne where the author went to school.
