Edna Lyall
An Appreciation, With Biographical and Critical Notes
Description:... Excerpt from Edna Lyall: An Appreciation, With Biographical and Critical Notes
Years ago I read "Donovan" and "We Two," and was immensely interested; so much so, that I have read each subsequent work by the same authoress soon after its publication with great eagerness.
It therefore gives me great pleasure to write an appreciation of "Edna Lyall," which I hope may be successful in yet enlarging the very wide circle of her readers. There may be some who do not share my views, who would perhaps hold that "Edna Lyall" is a superficial writer; there may be some who will hold that there is far too much insistence on the moral, which I am willing to admit runs through most of her stories; there may be some who will hold that "Edna Lyall," while she has written one or two books of real sterling worth, has nevertheless overwritten herself.
