BOOK REVIEW
The Pro
a
A book dealing in sharp emo
tion, modern morals, and 20th
Century intellectualism. is Storm
Jameson's latest work, "A Cup
of Tea For Mr. Thorgill" (11ar
per, 1957). The novel, a Book
of-the-Month Club selection for
December, describes the intel
lectual morass which seems to
surround most modern universi
ties and which is compounded
by egocentric non-conformity
and pseudo-intellectualism.
The particular college involved
is England's esteemed Oxford
University, and the particular
problem is Communism and its
advances among avant-guarde
circles of students and ficulty
members.
REBELLION
The particular character in
volved is Nevil Ridgen, a His
tory professor who fills his spare
hours by writing propaganda
leaflets for the Communist
cause. After 13 years of such
activity, Ridgen rebels when he
Is asked to take an active part
in the sacrifice of a young girl
student to the party welfare. He
realizes suddenly the rank injus
tice of this Communist technique
of "manuring the ground for the
next year," and he bolts the
party.
Turning himself over to the
Oxford Headmaster, Ridgen con
fesses his aetivities and, after
an attempt on his life apparently
planned by his wife, Informs on
several for-mer Communist co
workers, Including his wife and
brother-in-law.
NO TRUSTED
Unfortunately, Ridgen finds
:hat while being an avowed
nember of the Communist party
s not considered a sin, secret
articipation In the Red behalf
s a deadly one and that a turn
oat is trusted by neither side.
Iis informing consequently .Is a
meaningless gesture. He finds
oo that the Headmaster is so
mtangled In hih own self
isteem that he fails to act on
Utdgen's story because of the
scandle it might cause, and the
nembers of the Oxford intelli
rencia are so Interested in
romoting their own non-con
ormist ideals and charmed with
heir own wit that they refuse
o believe that Communism and
he Communist Party represent
nty danger greater than that of
rival debating team or a Hyde

noon. Ridgen, therefore, loses
his job and is dismissed from
Oxford in disgrace.
GAINS RUGGED SPIRIT
However, in the denoument,
which is just a trifle too pat,
Ridgen finds that he has friends
wise enough to pierce the intel-a
lectual haze, makes his informao
tion useful by offering it tcl
the British Government Service,
and finds another respectable,.
albeit poorer, te;tching position.
Finally, with severely gained in
sight, Ridgen discovers the
rugged spirit and courage of
the common people and finds
that commonplace minds and
hearts have an honest beauty
which far outshines the gleam
ing sophis3ication of the hyper
critical non-conformists.
"A Cup Of Tea For Mr. Thor
gill" is not an entertaining
book, but its weaknesses are
ones of style rather than of
content. Miss Jameson brings
the readcr pain by requiring him
to plod through 50 pages of
introductory material before al
lowing him to walk on firmer
ground. She introduces all of
the story's charactets, for ex
ample, at the outset of the book
by gathering them en masse a#
a long, confusing, and incredibly
dull dinner party. Again in the4
final pages, the book deterio
rates into a set of sentimental
maxims of the "There'll Alway4
Be An England" variety.
CREDITABLE
All in all, the book is credi
table. Miss Jameson's writing
is mature, sober, and emotion
ally hard-hitting; it combines
keen observation with a good
plot and a stimulating investi
gation of our present political
awareness. For students of
politics and for future FBI
agents, the book should be re
quired reading. However, it is
just a shade too "terribly Bri
tish" for me.
