The writers whom we admire to-day do not appear to love their characters, and the critics who appraise their books show no signs of doing so either. For a writer or critic to show delight in a character would would seem to-day rather naïve, an old-fashioned response left over from the days of Dickens and Surtees. Characters, it seems, are no longer objects of affection.

— Bernard Bergonzi
