nck Revolution, Artistic Talent Form
Subjects Of DuMaurier’ s Latest Novel

THE GLASS-BLOWERS is the
latest work of the famous Daphné
du Maurier. This book, however,
is more a history of the French
Revolution than a novel, ,

The story is: told through the

eyes. of Sophie, one of the five

children. of Mathurin Busson, a
famous. glass-blower who. made
a~-perfect -crystal-goblet in honor
of Louis XV of France,

This very’ crystal -came_ to
symbolize the artistic talent of
the Busson family and the fate
of the family unity. As different
as_these children. were,..each re-

flected the impact of the Revolution ..

on their family.

It is in the. Prologue and the .

first -section of the book that we
see Miss du Maurier’s talents as
asnovelist. The Prologue contains
a. vital and primitive description
of the life of the glass-blowers,
and in the first section, the family
is the.center of interest, rather
than the external events and the
‘growing uneasiness in France.
However, in the second section
the historical events, the fear of
vandals and the surging public

story is written in the first per-

everywhere of the armed militia
there seemed more disorder too.”
The narrator is. present at the
scene, but shows no feeling, al
