Edmund+Swettenham


 * Character Analysis **

Edmund Swettenham is the son of Mrs. Swettenham. He has an interest in the Daily Worker, a newspaper published by communists. He believes he is a business man even though he is writing a book, and he ultimately ends up becoming a successful play-writer. Edmund is very sure of his opinions, challenging anyone who accuses him of not doing any real work by saying "That's not in the least true". During the book, Edmund is thought of as potentially being Pip Stamfordis in disguise, but in the end that was not true. The story ends as Edmund and his long term love interest, Phillipa Haymes return from their honeymoon.
