Last week, with the publication of Books VII and VIII. bound together and titled The World from Below, the general pattern of Men of Good Will became a little clearer. But the engrossing questions of its permanent literary value and of its probable influence and significance were as open to controversy as before. Less crowded with incidents than preceding volumes, The World from Below deals primarily with the dilemma of Jean Jerphanion, keen, ambitious, radical student whose desire to reform the world and prevent war is thwarted by his inability to find a political group or a party in whose...
...need discussion group leaders for older boys. They need entertainers, handicraft teachers, and game supervisors. The work to be done is important and necessary. For the student who is willing to sacrifice two hours a week to work of this nature, the reward is to be found in a clearer understanding of economic problems gained from personal contact with a few of those who are on the edge of economic ruin; in a realization of some of the dangers and limitations of urban life for the under-priviledged; in a lasting impression of some problems of citizenship...

Author Bishop's mist- clearing method is deliberate: the gradually opening eye which observes and slowly understands the story is that of a young boy. Observer-narrator is John, youngest member of a Virginia family whose blood is proud but queer. His grandfather is an eccentric lawyer. His dead father was a doctor who painted strange pictures. His Uncle Charlie has been a wildly attractive scapegrace from his youth...
