George Bourne [pseud. of George Sturt] : The Ascending Effort

'It my be that I failed to understand "The Ascending Effort", but I did not mean to treat Bourne disrespectfully. [But] you will admit that Bourne's writing in its slightly grotesque heaviness made it very difficult to read the whole book in a spirit of impartiality[...].'

Century: 1900-1945     Reader/Listener/Group: Joseph Conrad      Print: Book

  

George Bourne : The Ascending Effort

'The book ["The Ascending Effort"] which in the course of the last few days I have opened and shut several times is not imaginative.'

Century: 1900-1945     Reader/Listener/Group: Joseph Conrad      Print: Book
