Mr. Frederick Wedmore’s Short Stories
Each Vol. 3s. 6d.
Pastorals of France. Fourth Edition.
‘The publication of the “Pastorals” may be said to have revealed not only a new talent, but a new literary genre. The charm of the writing never fails.’—Bookman.
‘In their simplicity, their tenderness, their quietude, their truthfulness to the remote life they depict, “Pastorals of France” are almost perfect.’—Spectator.
Renunciations. Third Edition. With Portrait by J. J. Shannon, A.R.A.
‘Mr. Wedmore has gained for himself an enviable reputation. He has the poet’s secret, how to bring out the beauty of common things.... The “Chemist in the Suburbs,” in “Renunciations,” is his masterpiece.’—Saturday Review.
‘We congratulate Mr. Wedmore on his vivid, wholesome, and artistic work, so full of suppressed feeling and of quiet strength.’—Standard.
English Episodes. Second Edition.
‘Distinction is the characteristic of Mr. Wedmore’s manner. These things remain upon the mind, as seen—not read of.’—Daily News.
‘A penetrating insight, a fine pathos. Mr. Wedmore is a peculiarly fine and carefully deliberate artist.’—Westminster Gazette.
Orgéas and Miradou. With Other Pieces.
The beautiful story of “Orgéas and Miradou” is typical of Mr. Wedmore’s power of expressing and translating the poignancy of human emotion. It is charged with depth of feeling, and vivid in its extreme reticence and discrimination of touch. In it, there is nothing short of divination.’—Athenæum.
‘“Orgéas and Miradou” deals with the most poignant situation that can be imagined. It is the most perfect piece of work Mr. Wedmore has given us.’—St. James’s Gazette.
