Abstract

A New Novelist
June 22, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on two books "Where Bonds Are Loosed" and "Mainland," by E.L. Grant Watson. These two novels may be taken as the first utterance of a new novelist of promise. He is an Englishman, a Cantabrigian who, less than ten years ago, won a "first" in natural science and began life as zoologist in an ethnological expedition to northwest Australia. After about a year and a half in the "bush," he returned to England by way of the Fiji Islands, where he spent some time among the natives. The experience had been successful from the scientific point of view, but it is plain that the adventurer's new views of human nature and human life were more absorbing to him than his technical observations.
