Buried Alive (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

An ingenious satire, Buried Alive (1908) is Bennett at his most charming and wittiest. It is the story a renowned but exceedingly shy painter, Priam Farll, who assumes the identity of his dead valet, Henry Leek, as a means of avoiding press attention. The novel was enormously successful as a play, retitled The Great Adventure, and later as the film Holy Matrimony.
