Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lewis Seymour and Some Women "A Modern Lover" was the book of a young man who, in a moment of inspiration, hit upon an excellent anecdote, and being without literary skill to unfold it, devised a strange text out of his memories of Balzac, Zola, and Goncourt. This is a severe but just appreciation of my first prose work, formed after looking through it with a view to republication in the collected edition which Messrs. Brentano´s are publishing. "Extraordinary," I said to myself, "is the power of the anecdote; though imperfectly written and illustrated with characters only faintly sketched, this first book has survived the vicissitudes of thirty-five years." And I fell to thinking of a story that I heard from Granville Barker when he lay in bed in Dublin recovering from typhus fever: how, cycling, one day, he had overtaken a tall, gaunt man at the foot of a hill - Furnivall, who, being old, had stepped down from his machine, and Barker, desirous of talk, stepped down from his; and pushing their machines in front of them, they discoursed literature, probably one of Barker´s plays - something that he had written or was minded to write.
