Other editions of book Maurice Guest

PREFACE THIS remarkable novel, first pubHshed in England in 1908, is one of those few whose influence has been persistently important and fruitful, almost, as it were, in spite of itSelf. 1 do not mean that on its first appearance everything possible was not done for it. Its publishers advertised it most ably, many reviewers were enthusiastic, but it had none' of those immediate glories and sensations that fall every once and again to remarkable first novels. It was talked about a little, it was admired intensely by a few) and then at the end of the three months that are supposed to be the average span of a novel's active life, it apparent]y vanished and was no more seen. It was only then, however, that its real history began. From that year of 1908 until this of 1922, it may be said that no week has passed during which someone somewhere has not said to someone else, Ie Have you ever read a book called' Maurice Guest' ? If not, you'd better."
