About this audiobook
DEDICATION To C. F G. Masterman, M. P.
My Dear Charles, I originally called this book “What is
Wrong,” and it would have satisfied your sardonic temper to note
the number of social misunderstandings that arose from the use of
the title. Many a mild lady visitor opened her eyes when I
remarked casually, “I have been doing ‘What is Wrong’ all this
morning.” And one minister of religion moved quite sharply in his
chair when I told him (as he understood it) that I had to run
upstairs and do what was wrong, but should be down again in a
minute. Exactly of what occult vice they silently accused me I cannot
conjecture, but I know of what I accuse myself; and that is, of
having written a very shapeless and inadequate book, and one quite
unworthy to be dedicated to you. As far as literature goes, this
book is what is wrong and no mistake.
