Reviews

'Although the strains of fin-de-siecle world weariness are evident enough, the short stories are also punctuated by vitality and intensity ... Deft use of adjective makes the scenes and portraits of individuals vivid.' '...On the whole the editors and the press are to be commended for bring Dowson's short prose to our attention in this elegant volume.'--Sanford Lakoff
