Novelist, short story writer, and literary editor of the Yellow Book, Harland�������s literary career falls into two distinct periods. During the first of these, using the pseudonym of Sidney Luska, he wrote a series of highly sensational novels, thrown off with little regard to literary quality. In the second he went through a metamorphosis and became an enthusiast in regard to style and the mot propre. The first novels of this new era, Mademoiselle Miss, Grey Roses, and Comedies and Errors, though obtaining the approval of the literary elect, had little general popularity. The tide turned with the appearance of The Cardinal�������s Snuff-box, which was widely admired. This was followed by this volume, The Lady Paramount, and My Friend Prospero.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
