Country life -- England -- Fiction; Short stories, English; Working class -- England -- Fiction
BY F. MABEL ROBINSON
_In One Volume, price 6s._
=The Saturday Review.=—‘Every page of it is worth reading. The author
sets herself to write a fascinating book, and, in our opinion, has
undoubtedly succeeded.’
=The World.=—‘There are good things in this novel; excellent
character-drawing, some forcibly realistic chapters in the life of a
common soldier.’
=The Daily News.=—‘The story is skilfully constructed, and will
certainly add to Miss Robinson’s reputation.’
=The Daily Chronicle.=—‘Miss Robinson writes but little, and writes that
little carefully.... Herein also is Miss Robinson true to life, and not
false to art.’
=The Realm.=—‘The story is powerfully written. It is worth reading.’
=The Standard.=—‘All the vicissitudes of Treganna’s career are
interesting, and are vividly told.’
=The Lady.=—‘A story of exceptional power and absorbing interest,
earnest, forcible, intensely human, and of high literary merit.’
=The Observer.=—‘The book is very ably written, and it is well worth
reading.’
=The Globe.=—‘There are in this book much power of observation, a
relentless truthfulness, and a recognition of the value of detail. It
should enchain the attention of the most callous reader.’
=The Sunday Times.=—‘A remarkably clever sketch of a man’s life and
character.... The literary workmanship is good without being
laboured.... We wish it the appreciation, not only of those who can
distinguish good literature, but of those who prefer the good from the
bad.’
=Black and White.=—‘An original plot vigorously treated.’
=The Daily Graphic.=—‘The whole story of the relations between Joseph
Treganna and Fanny Star is very human, and handled with a breadth and
understanding which very few women novelists of the day could hope to
rival, while the gradual abandonment by the man of the outposts whereon
he has planted his colours is admirable in its inevitableness.’
=Woman.=—‘A superb novel, strong and full of life, packed with
observation and humour of the deep subcutaneous sort.’
LONDON: WILLIAM HEINEMANN, 21 BEDFORD STREET, W.C.

THE STORY OF
A MODERN WOMAN
BY ELLA HEPWORTH DIXON
_In One Volume, price 6s._
=The Times.=—‘Miss Dixon shows herself no ineffective satirist of the
shams and snobbishness of society.’
=The Academy.=—‘No one who reads _The Story of a Modern Woman_ will be
likely to gainsay the excellence of its writing, and the genuine talent
shown by Miss Dixon.’
=The Pall Mall Gazette.=—‘A subtle study, written by a woman, about a
woman, and from the point of view of a distinctly clever and modern
woman herself.... Miss Dixon has scored a great success in the treatment
of her novel.’
