DR. VERMONT’S FANTASY,
AND OTHER STORIES.
By HANNAH LYNCH.
Athenæum.
“Original observation and a rare reticence of detail.”
Daily Chronicle.
“Miss Lynch has proved in previous work that she has at command the most precious of gifts, the gift of charm. These stories are all, more or less, interpenetrated by it. Nor is the working of it in us merely while we read. It recurs unbidden in the ‘sessions of sweet, silent thought.’”
Vanity Fair.
“Miss Hannah Lynch’s new volume, ‘Dr. Vermont’s Fantasy,’ is the finest piece of feminine literary work, take it all in all, that has been accomplished in Great Britain during the present generation. Miss Lynch belongs to no school; she has chosen the best models here, there, and everywhere, and formed her own style. I cannot say what model has been dearest to her; but the general effect is Greek—the massive dignity, the repose—with the exception of the story ‘Brases,’ which is supposed to be written by an excitable Frenchman—the cold simplicity keeping in check but never conquering the rich warm temperament of the Irish author.... Her matter in the average cheap and skilful hands would win immediate recognition, so abundant and full of interest is it.”
