Holy Deadlock

A.P. Herbert

4.9/5 (23149 ratings)

Description:PRE-ISBN.From the front-inside end-paper:“This entertaining novel has more to recommend it than most books of its kind, because it helped to change the law of the land. It was first published in 1934. In 1935 the author was made a Member of Parliament, and in 1936 he presented a divorce reform Bill called the Marriage Bill. As Sir Alan Herbert says in his new introduction written specially for this edition: 'In July 1937, very surprisingly, after a long, severe, Parliamentary struggle, this received the Royal Assent as the Matrimonial Causes Act, 1937. I do not claim that the Walls of Jericho fell down because of the book; I cannot remember that it was ever mentioned in the debates: but I think it had softened the climate of public opinion in which members of Parliament have their being, and so made it easier for many to support, or accept, a reform which had always been considered politically perilous. No part of the book was conceived in levity, but it was written in the belief that humour is often the best road to reform. 'We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
