I do not know if she is going to exert an influence on the future development of the novel — I rather suspect that her style and her vision were so unique that influence would only result in tame imitation — but I cannot imagine a time, however bleak, or a writer, whatever his school, when and for whom her devotion to her art, her industry, her severity with herself — above all, her passionate love, not only or chiefly for the big moments of life but also for its daily humdrum "sausage-and-haddock" details — will not remain an example that is at once an inspiration and a judge.
