‘Just the things every woman ought to know.’--_The Glasgow Citizen._ THE WOMEN NOVELISTS By R. BRIMLEY JOHNSON Readers of this brilliant book will turn with a fresh interest to their Jane Austen, George Eliot, Charlotte Brontë, Fanny Burney, and the host of other notable women novelists. Mr Brimley Johnson writes not only acutely but also entertainingly of those great women who laid the foundations of the modern English novel, and boldly claims that they invented it. BUZZ, BUZZ! By CAPT. J. E. AGATE 7s. 6d. _net_. This book on the theatre was prepared for the press and largely written while on active service. No more luminous and suggestive book on the theatre has appeared in recent years. MUMMERY By GILBERT CANNAN A Romance of the Theatre. TONY HERON By C. KENNETT BURROW The story of a temperamental antagonism which leads to tragedy, but tragedy not without hope. Tony Heron himself, whom we follow from boyhood to maturity, is by no means the sport of circumstance; the circumstances are moulded by environment and blood, not arbitrary happenings. The setting is, for the most part, in pre-war England, and a countryside which will probably never be the same again. Transcriber’s Notes Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in the original book; otherwise they were not changed. Simple typographical errors were corrected; unbalanced quotation marks were remedied when the change was obvious, and otherwise left unbalanced. Footnotes, originally at the bottoms of pages, have been collected, renumbered into one sequence, and placed at the end of the book, just before the advertisements. Page 130: “made the sounds” was printed that way; may be a misprint for “rounds.”
