itself, but always it is pregnant with the larger suggestion, which
gives it its place in feminist literature."

WILLIAM DE MORGAN'S NOVELS
"WHY ALL THIS POPULARITY?" asks E. V. LUCAS, writing in the _Outlook_ of
De Morgan's Novels. He answers: De Morgan is "almost the perfect example
of the humorist; certainly the completest since Lamb.... Humor, however,
is not all.... In the De Morgan world it is hard to find an unattractive
figure.... The charm of the young women, all brave and humorous and gay,
and all trailing clouds of glory from the fairyland from which they have
just come."
JOSEPH VANCE

"The book of the last decade; the best thing in fiction since
Mr. Meredith and Mr. Hardy; must take its place as the first
