1903 Too hot to be published during Butler's lifetime, is said to have changed literature when discovered in his drawer. "...I suppose that The Way of All Flesh and The Playboy of the Western World are the two great milestones on the road of purely English letters between Gulliver's Travels and Joyce's Ulysses." (Ford Madox Ford)
So we might as well have it without the typos like "...is it not Tennyson who has said: ‘’Tis better to have loved and lost, than never to have lost [sic] at all’?" This is not a dig at you, Patricia, just again at Gutenberg, who can't be bothered to fix the legions of errors in the manually-transcribed classics.
This version also with the inter-textual art (and Greek) that does add some atmosphere, at least, to the novel.
