It is not difficult to be unconventional in the eyes of the world when your unconventionality is but the convention of your set.
Moon and Sixpence by Maugham, W. Somerset View in context
The audacity and unconventionality of the storiettes was a shock to bourgeois morality and prejudice; but when Paris went mad over the immediate translation that was made, the American and English reading public followed suit and bought so many copies that Martin compelled the conservative house of Singletree, Darnley & Co.
Martin Eden by London, Jack View in context
He has always gone in for unconventionality, and parents nowhere, and so forth.
A Room With A View by Forster, E. M. View in context
