"A noteworthy book.... There are things said in these pages, and said very plainly, which need to be said, which are rarely enough said—almost never so well said. The book contains unforgettable scenes, persons, phrases, and such a picture of the hardness of a good woman as exists nowhere else in our literature."—New York Times Saturday Review.
"Masterly ... artistic to the core."—Boston Advertiser.
"No criticism of trifles can leave in doubt the great distinction of her craftsmanship. Very certainly she must have made her reputation by this book, if it had not been already won."—Punch (London).
THE DIVINE FIRE
A story of a London poet.
"In all our new fiction I have found nothing worthy to compare with 'The Divine Fire.'"—Mary Moss in The Atlantic Monthly.
"A full-length study of the poetic temperament, framed in a varied and curiously interesting environment, and drawn with a firmness of hand that excites one's admiration.... Moreover, a real distinction of style, besides being of absorbing interest from cover to cover."—Dial.
"I find her book the most remarkable that I have read for many years."—Owen Seaman in Punch (London).
THE TYSONS
"Maintains a clinging grip upon the mind and senses, compelling one to acknowledge the author's genius."—Chicago Record-Herald.
