The Academy: “Whatever he produces bears the hall-mark of his subtle mind. We believe that if he honestly tried for a month, he could not write anything that was stale in thought, stale in character and phrase.”
A SELECTED LIST OF FICTION
BY CHARLES MARRIOTT
THE LAPSE OF VIVIEN EADY
The Times: “As a writer Mr. Marriott increases in virtue. We have never known his prose so good, whether in description, dialogue, or analysis.”
The Morning Post: “It seems to us that ‘The Lapse of Vivien Eady’ is distinctly the best book he has hitherto produced. The characters are excellently well drawn ... and the book is full of delicate impressions of the aspects of sea and sky and moorland.”
THE REMNANT
The Pall Mall Gazette: “Nothing is more reassuring to the student of literature than to watch, in the midst of the careless rise and fall of so many reputations, the steady advance of such a novelist as Mr. Marriott. It is unnecessary to argue that fiction is a true and living and important branch of English literature when it numbers among its younger exponents such men as the author of ‘The Remnant.’ We welcome this book as an addition to the small body of good psychological fiction in English.”
