IMAGINARY SPEECHES AND OTHER PARODIES IN
PROSE AND VERSE. By Jack Collings Squire.
Crown 8vo, cloth. 3 s. 6 d. net. This is probably the
most comprehensive volume of Parodies ever issued.
The author is as much at his ease in hitting off the style
of Mr. Burns or Mr. Balfour, as he is in imitating the
methods and effects of the new Celtic or Imperialist
poets; whilst he is as happy in his series illustrating
“The Sort of Prose Articles that modern Prose-writers
write” as he is in his model newspaper with its various
amusing features.
SHADOWS OUT OF THE CROWD. By Richard Curle.
Crown 8vo, cloth. 6 s. This book consists of twelve
stories of a curious and psychological kind. Some deal
with the West Indian and South American tropics, some
with London, some with Scotland, and one with South
Africa. The author’s sense of atmosphere is
impressive, and there is about all his stories the fatalistic
spirit of the Russians. They have been written over a
period of several years, and show signs of a close study
of method and a deep insight into certain descriptions
of fevered imagination. All are the work of a writer of
power, and of an artist of a rare and rather un-English
type.
LONDON WINDOWS. By Ethel Talbot. Crown 8vo,
cloth. 2 s. 6 d. net. In this little volume Miss Talbot,
who is a well-known and gifted singer in the younger
choir of England’s poets, pictures London in many
moods. She has won themes from the city’s life without
that capitulation to the merely actual which is the pitfall
of so many artists. London is seen grieving, sordid,
grey, as well as magical and alluring. All who love the
London of to-day must perforce respond to the appeal
which lies in these moving and poignant verses.
BOHEMIA IN LONDON. By Arthur Ransome. Fcap.
8vo, cloth. Illustrated. 2 s. net.
SOME ASPECTS OF THACKERAY. By Lewis Melville.
Demy 8vo. 12 s. 6 d. net. As a literary study the book
incites interest, and commands attention as a further
revelation of a brilliant and many-sided literary genius.
There are admirably written chapters on “Thackeray
as a Reader and Critic,” “Thackeray as an Artist,”
“Thackeray’s Country,” “Thackeray’s Ballads,”
“Thackeray and his Illustrators,” “Prototypes of
Thackeray’s Characters,” etc. The volume is fully
illustrated.
