From CHAPMAN & HALL’S AUTUMN LIST

General Literature

BY INTERVENTION OF PROVIDENCE

By STEPHEN McKENNA. 7s. 6d. net.

No one will be surprised that, when Mr. Stephen McKenna sets out to follow an old trail, he finds it a necessity of his artistic temperament to diverge into bye-paths. Last winter, finding London an uninspiring city of refuge, he set sail for the Bahamas. The result of his sojourn there is one of the most personal, the most individual books of this generation. It is not fiction though it contains stories; not a travel book though it talks of travel; not autobiography though written in the first person. It is a sort of literary confessional of a singularly attractive and communicative intellect.

TOGETHER

By NORMAN DOUGLAS. 12s. 6d. net. With a special hand-made paper edition limited to 250 signed copies at £2 2s. net.

It is difficult at this late day to say anything new of Norman Douglas. His reputation as one of the most original writers of this generation is solidly established. A vast number of travel books is published every year, but there is to be found in none of them that quality of personal flavour that is the chief charm and characteristic of Mr. Douglas’s writing. His new book, “Together,” is as delightful as “Alone,” and it has the added attraction of being a piece of continuous narrative.

LANDSCAPE PAINTING. Vol. I. From Giotto to Turner.

By C. LEWIS HIND. 25s. net.

Mr. Hind is the author of many volumes, but he has always looked forward to the writing of this particular book as one of the chief events of his career. Wherever he has gone, to the Shires of England, the States of America, to Italy or the provinces of France, he has always sought material for this volume. The book will be profusely illustrated.

THE SECRET OF WOMAN

By HELEN JEROME. 7s. 6d. net.

During the war men and women rushed recklessly into marriage. Now in the hour of post-war disillusion they are seeking to diagnose the symptoms of their troubles. Never before has there been such a demand for sane, clear-thinking books on the sex question; for books that are addressed not to the neurotic, nor the thin-blooded, nor the over-sexed; but to healthy-minded, healthy-bodied men and women who honestly desire to make each other happy. Such a book is Helen Jerome’s “The Secret of Woman.” It deals exhaustively, though lightly and wittily, with the relationships of men and women. Here are some of the chapter headings: “Wherein men are superior,” “Woman’s attitude to male beauty,” “Are women liars?” “Does woman know passion?”

ROBERT BURNS: His Life and Genius.

By ANDREW DAKERS. 10s. 6d. net.

In spite of the assumed lack of sympathy between their rival interests, there are a great many publishers who are also authors. But to the best of our knowledge, the first literary agent to write books as well as sell them is Andrew Dakers, one of the youngest and most enterprising members of his profession. His critical and biographical study of Burns develops a new and distinctly provocative interpretation of Burns’s private life.

EXITS AND ENTRANCES

By EVA MOORE. 15s. net.

A light, witty, merry volume of reminiscence by one of the most fascinating and popular actresses the stage has ever known.

SPARKS FROM THE FIRE: a Volume of Essays.

By GILBERT THOMAS. 6s. net.

The career of Gilbert Thomas as an essayist and a poet has been for a long time followed with attention by those who value taste and scholarship. His new book is certain of a warm welcome.

New Fiction at 7s. 6d. Net.

ONE OF THE GUILTY

By W. L. GEORGE, Author of “A Bed of Roses,” “The Stiff Lip,” “The Confession of Ursula Trent.”

“One of the Guilty” is a romantic story, a novel of action; it is a study of the primitive human instincts that underlie the veneer of education and environment. In “The Confession of Ursula Trent” Mr. George told how a well-bred girl of county family became, through circumstances and influence, a demi-mondaine. In “One of the Guilty” he shows how a public schoolboy can become a criminal. Never before has the life of a thief, of a successful thief, been presented so graphically, so dramatically, so intimately. Every detail of the methods and implements of modern burglary is described, and yet throughout one’s sympathies, one’s affections, are with the thief; one hopes, in spite of oneself, that he will win through.

“One of the Guilty” is not, in the accepted sense of the word, a sex novel. But it is as much a love story as it is an adventure story, and in no other novel, perhaps, has W. L. George written more tender, more beautiful, more passionate love scenes that he has in this book.

GOOD HUNTING

By NORMAN DAVEY.

Norman Davey, the author of “The Pilgrim of a Smile,” is not one of those novelists who believe that it is necessary to produce a new book every autumn. Indeed, two years have passed since the successful appearance of “Guinea Girl,” his romance of Monte Carlo. His new novel, “Good Hunting,” is, as was “The Pilgrim of a Smile,” a series of stories grouped about one man; a fashionable and popular young man whom a number of girls endeavour to ensnare into marriage, and it is dedicated to the 1,337,208 superfluous women (last census)!

SMOKE RINGS

By G. B. STERN, Author of “The Room,” “The Back Seat,” etc.

A first collection of short stories by one of the most brilliant of our younger novelists.
