The Flower Beneath the Foot / Being a record of the early life of St. Laura de Nazianzi and the times in which she lived

by Ronald Firbank

SPECTATOR:

“Mr Firbank has an extraordinary knack of writing dialogue, and his entirely odious people move and breathe and are completely real. Perhaps some day Mr Firbank will give us a comedy that is not all satire; when he does it might prove an exceedingly brilliant acting play.”
