> .. #TheNovel is born with the appearance of money as a social element #money, the great solvent of the solid fabric of the old society, the great generator of illusion.. to say much the same thing, the novel is born in response to snobbery. #Snobbery is not the same thing as pride of class.. aristocratic pride was based ultimately on the ability to fight and administer.. pride of class may be thought of as today we think of pride of profession, toward which we are likely to be lenient.
