His "Tales of Mean Streets" was one of the best received books of 1894-95, and the present volume has occupied his time ever since. It is of great force and continuous interest ; a book that, once begun, must be finished, and one that will figure as a sensation for a long time to come. Miss Ayr of Virginia and Other Stories BY Julia Magruder idtno, $i.2j Critics have always united in saying of Miss Magru- der's work that it was interesting.

A unique and daring book." Revie7v of Revieivs (London), "One is hardly likely to go far wrong in predicting that Without Sin will attract abundant notice. Too much can scarcely be said in praise of Mr. Prichard's treatment of his subject." Acadeiny (London). "The very ingenious way in which improbable incidents are made to appear natural, the ingenious manner in which the story is sustained to the end, the undoubted fascination of the writing, and the convincing charm of the principal characters, are just what make this novel so deeply dangerous while so intensely interesting."

New Orleans Picayune, •' Prose Fancies " ought to be in everyone's summer library, for it is just the kind of a book one loves to take to some secluded spot to read and dream over. Kansas City Times, Mr. Le Gallienne is first of all a poet, and these little essays, which savor somewhat of Lamb, of Montaigne, of Lang, and of Birrell, are latded with verse of exquisite grace. He rarely ventures into the grotesque, but his fancy follows fair paths; a certain quaintness of expression and the idyllic atmosphere of the book charm one at the beginning and carry one through the nineteen " fancies " that comprise the volume.

Recorder. « Checkers" is an interesting and entertaining chap, a distinct type, with a separate tongue and a way of say- ing things that is oddly humorous. Chicago Record. If I had to ride from New York to Chicago on a slow train, I should like a half dozen books as gladsome as •' Checkers," and I could laugh at the trip. N. 2^. Com- mercial Advertiser. " Checkers " himself is as distinct a creation as Chim- mie Fadden and his racy slang expresses a livelier wit. The racing part is clever reporting and as horsey and "up-to-date" as anyone could ask. The slang of the race-course is caught with skill and is vivid and pictur- esque, and students of the byways of language may find some new gems of colloquial speech to add to their lexicons.

Chicago Tribune. Artie is a character, and George Ade has limned him deftly as well as amusingly. Under his rollicking abandon and recklessness we are made to feel the real sense and sensitiveness, and the wordly wisdom of a youth whose only language is that of the street gamin. As a study of the peculiar type chosen, it is both typical and inimitable. Detroit Free Press. It is brimful of fun and life and the most picturesque slang. Nobody will be any the worse for reading about Artie, if he does talk slang. He's a good fellow at heart, and Mamie Carroll is the "making of him." He talks good sense and good morality, and these things haven't yet gone out of style, even in Chicago. Ne-w York Recorder, Well-meaning admirers have compared Artie to Chimmie Fadden, but Mr. Townsend's creation, excellent as it is, cannot be said to be entirely free from exageration. The hand of Chimmie Fadden's maker is to be dis- cerned at times. And just here Artie is particularly strong—he is always Artie, and Mr. Ade is always concealed and never obtrudes his personality. —Chicago Post. George Ade is a writer, the direct antithesis of Stephen Crane. In "Artie" he has given the world a story of the streets at once wholesome, free and stimulating. The world is filled with people like "Artie" Blanchard and his "girl," "Mamie'| Carroll, and the story of their lives, their hopes and dreams and loves, is immeasurably more wholesome than all the stories like "George's Mother" that could be written by an army of the writers who call themselves realists.— Editorial Albany Evening Journal.

    The Life and Letters of William Sharp and “Fiona Macleod”

    The Life and Letters of William Sharp and “Fiona Macleod” Volume 2: 1895-1899 W The Life and Letters of ILLIAM WILLIAM F. HALLORAN William Sharp and What an achievement! It is a major work. The lett ers taken together with the excellent H F. introductory secti ons - so balanced and judicious and informati ve - what emerges is an amazing picture of William Sharp the man and the writer which explores just how “Fiona Macleod” fascinati ng a fi gure he is. Clearly a major reassessment is due and this book could make it ALLORAN happen. Volume 2: 1895-1899 —Andrew Hook, Emeritus Bradley Professor of English and American Literature, Glasgow University William Sharp (1855-1905) conducted one of the most audacious literary decep� ons of his or any � me. Sharp was a Sco� sh poet, novelist, biographer and editor who in 1893 began The Life and Letters of William Sharp to write cri� cally and commercially successful books under the name Fiona Macleod. This was far more than just a pseudonym: he corresponded as Macleod, enlis� ng his sister to provide the handwri� ng and address, and for more than a decade “Fiona Macleod” duped not only the general public but such literary luminaries as William Butler Yeats and, in America, E. C. Stedman. and “Fiona Macleod” Sharp wrote “I feel another self within me now more than ever; it is as if I were possessed by a spirit who must speak out”. This three-volume collec� on brings together Sharp’s own correspondence – a fascina� ng trove in its own right, by a Victorian man of le� ers who was on in� mate terms with writers including Dante Gabriel Rosse� , Walter Pater, and George Meredith – and the Fiona Macleod le� ers, which bring to life Sharp’s intriguing “second self”.

    MAX BEERBOHM AS A LITERARY CRITIC by BEVERLY JOAN NORBY B.A., University of British Columbia, 1949 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of English We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA October, 1967 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and Study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by h.i>s representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of ENGLISH The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada Date October, 1967 ABSTRACT The purpose of this thesis has been to define Max Beerbohm's critical literary principles, to evaluate his con• tribution to aesthetic criticism and thereby to determine his place in the critical tradition. The methods of investi• gation have been: to study the formative influences on the development of his critical principles and to evaluate the results of their application in Max's essays and dramatic criticisms. From this study it is evident that as a man and as an artist Max was "formed" during the Eighteen-nineties. By nature he was an intellectual dandy who always preferred strong, narrow creative personalities like himself. He was detached, fastidious, witty, and humane, and he was noted for his wisdom and sound common sense, even as a very young man.

    PRINT SALES GALLERY 3 AUG–8 SEP 2018 DAFYDD JONES: THE LAST HURRAH DAFYDD JONES: THE LAST HURRAH 3 AUG–8 SEP 2018 Snoggers, Hammersmtih Palais, London, 1981 British photographer Dafydd Jones (b.1956) has worked as social photographer since the early 1980s, contracted by such publications as Tatler, Vanity Fair, The New York Observer, The Sunday Telegraph, The Times and Independent. After winning a prize in a photography competition run by The Sunday Times magazine in 1981 with a set of pictures of the ‘Bright Young Things’, Jones was hired by Tatler magazine editor Tina Brown to photograph Hunt Balls, society weddings and debutante dances. This exhibition explores Jones’s behind-the-scenes images taken in the years that followed, between 1981-1989, known as ‘The Tatler Years’. “I had access to what felt like a secret world. It was a subject that had been written about and dramatised but I don’t think any photographers had ever tackled before. There was a change going on. Someone described it as a ‘last hurrah’ of the upper classes.” SELECTED PRESS THE GUARDIAN, 8 AUG 2018 I took this shot at Oriel College, Oxford, in 1984. I had heard that whoever won the summer rowing competition would set fire to a boat in celebration. Oriel had won seven years in a row at that point, and I remember there were complaints that it was all getting out of hand. The whole event was slightly mad. After a long, boozy dinner, groups of suited men would run arm-in-arm and jump through the blaze, or dash through the embers in their smart shoes.

ANKENY Lloyd Emerson Siberell, Powys 'Bibliomaniac' and 'Extravagantic' John Cowper Powys referred to him as 'a "character", if you catch my meaning, this good Emerson Lloyd S. — a very resolute chap (with a grand job in a big office) & a swarthy black- haired black-coated Connoisseur air, as a Missioner of a guileless culture, but I fancy no fool in his office or in the bosom of his family!'1 and would later describe him as 'a grand stand-by & yet what an Extravagantic on his own our great Siberell is for now and for always!'2 Lloyd Emerson Siberell, the 'Extravagantic' from the midwestern United States, had a lifelong fascination and enthusiasm for the Powys family and in pursuit of his avocations as magazine editor, publisher, writer, critic, literary agent, collector, and corresponding friend was a constant voice championing the Powys cause for over thirty years. Sometimes over-zealous, always persistent, unfailingly solicitous, both utilized and ignored, he served the family faithfully as an American champion of their art. He was born on 18 September 1905 and spent his early years in the small town of Kingston, Ohio; 'a wide place in the road, on the fringe of the beautiful Pickaway plains the heart of Ohio's farming region, at the back door of the country, so to speak.' In his high school days he 'was always too busy reading the books [he] liked and playing truant to ever study seriously...' He 'enjoyed life' and was 'a voracious reader but conversely not the bookworm type of man.'3 At seventeen he left school and worked a year at the Mead Corporation paper mill in Chillicothe, Ohio and from this experience he dated his interest in the art and craft of paper and paper making.

    Walks in Jefferies-Land 1912

    Walks in Jefferies-Land 1912 Kate Tryon The RICHARD JEFFERIES SOCIETY (Registered Charity No. 1042838) was founded in 1950 to promote appreciation and study of the writings of Richard Jefferies (1848-1887). Website http://richardjefferiessociety.co.uk email [email protected] 01793 783040 The Kate Tryon manuscript In 2010, the Richard Jefferies Society published Kate Tryon’s memoir of her first visit to Jefferies’ Land in 1910. [Adventures in the Vale of the White Horse: Jefferies Land, Petton Books.] It was discovered that the author and artist had started work on another manuscript in 1912 entitled “Walks in Jefferies-Land”. However, this type-script was incomplete and designed to illustrate the places that Mrs Tryon had visited and portrayed in her oil-paintings using Jefferies’ own words. There are many pencilled-in additions to this type-script in Kate Tryon’s own hand- writing and selected words are underlined in red crayon. Page 13 is left blank, albeit that the writer does not come across as a superstitious person. The Jefferies’ quotes used are not word-perfect; neither is her spelling nor are her facts always correct. There is a handwritten note on the last page that reads: “This is supposed to be about half the book. – K.T.” The Richard Jefferies Society has edited the “Walks”, correcting obvious errors but not the use of American spelling in the main text. References for quotes have been added along with appropriate foot-notes. The Richard Jefferies Society is grateful to Kate Schneider (Kate Tryon’s grand- daughter) for allowing the manuscripts to be published and thanks Stan Hickerton and Jean Saunders for editing the booklet.

He was educated at Charterhouse and Merton College, Oxford. He was a critic, essayist and caricaturist. He contributed to the famous Yellow Book while still an undergraduate at Oxford. As a half brother of the actor-manager Herbert Beerbohm Tree, Max was a brilliant dramatic critic of the Saturday Review from 1898 to 1910, succeeding George Bernard Shaw. In 1910 he married an American actress, Florence Kahn and went to live in Rapallo, Italy (except for the duration of the two World Wars). A charming, witty, and elegant man, Beerbohm was a brilliant parodist and the master of a polished prose style. His works include A Christmas Garland (1912), a collection of parodies on such authors as Joseph Conrad and Thomas Hardy; Zuleika Dobson (1911), an amusing satire on Oxford; Seven Men (1919), stories; and And Even Now (1920) and Mainly on the Air (1947), essays. Beerbohm was accomplished at drawing, and he published several volumes of excellent caricatures, including The Poet’s Corner (1904) and Rossetti and His Circle (1922). He was knighted in 1939 on his return from Italy, where he had lived from 1910.

    Ye Olde English Humourists

    TIF - Ye Olde English Humourists S. UNIAN SAMBAR August 2, 2019 A few of the British humorists (from left to right): Wyndham Lewis, A A Milne, Max Beerbohm | Howard Coster, CC BY-NC-ND 3.0, Wikipedia An affectionate tribute to the low-brow humorists of the British Empire who wrote in the early-mid 20th century. Or is this a symptom of "a post-colonial condition brought on by the native collaborator’s false nostalgia for colonial master narratives"? Is there any good reason for reading dreadfully anachronistic low-brow stuff from the days of the Empire, still less for enjoying it, and least of all for writing about it? Of course not, but there could be some lame excuses. Being a superannuated scholar in the humourless—indeed outrightly dismal—discipline of Economics which obliges one to relate human beings to such things as closed, compact, convex subsets of n-dimensional Euclidean space could be a major excuse for reading this species of literature. Also for taking pleasure in it, simply as an act of revenge for all those grim-death axioms and theorems which are inflicted on the economist by the compulsions of a life-time of wage-slavery and survival through scholarly publishing. And an excuse for writing about it is the canny suspicion that the author is not alone in his sneaking, shameful, guilty appreciation of the chuckle-headed and politically incorrect scribblings of a lost generation of English humourists, and that there are other closet aficionados of this brand of mentally arrested wit who might actually have some interest in (covertly) reading articles of the present type.
