Uniform Edition of
Mr. E. M. Forster's Earlier Works
.
A new uniform edition can now be obtained of the following books.
Bound in cloth, 5 s. net per volume
.

“Mr. Forster’s new novel clearly admits him to the limited class of writers who stand above and apart from the manufacturers of contemporary fiction.”—Spectator.

“It is packed with wonderful impressions and radiant sayings.”—Evening Standard.

“We have originality and observation, and a book as clever as the other books that Mr. Forster has written already.”—Times.

“This novel is a very remarkable and distinguished piece of work. Its abundant cleverness fills even the more strenuous passages with vivacity. The strength of the book consists in its implicit indictment of the mean, conventional, self-deceitful insincerity of so much of modern English educated, middle-class life. This is certainly one of the cleverest and most original books that have appeared from a new writer since George Meredith first took the literary critics into his confidence.”—Daily Telegraph.

“A remarkable book. Not often has the reviewer to welcome a new writer and a new novel so directly conveying the impression of power and an easy mastery of material. Here there are qualities of style and thought which awaken a sense of satisfaction and delight; a taste in the selection of words; a keen insight into the humour (and not merely the humours) of life; and a challenge to its accepted courses. It is told with a deftness, a lightness, a grace of touch, and a radiant atmosphere of humour which mark a strength and capacity giving large promise for the future.”—Daily News.

“There is no doubt about it whatever. Mr. E. M. Forster is one of the great novelists. All will agree as to the value of the book, as to its absorbing interest, the art and power with which it is put together, and they will feel with us that it is a book quite out of the common by a writer who is one of our assets, and is likely to be one of our glories.”—Daily Telegraph.
