by George Moore
"In his preface to the new version of 'A modern lover,' which now bears the title of 'Lewis Seymour and some women,' Mr. Moore tells how he did not revise this book finding it to be he exclaims, 'Jargon... beyond hope of revision.' Instead he rewrote it entirely and the book is a new book except for the plot or anecdote. As Mr. Moore describes it 'This anecdote was so true and beautiful that it carried a badly written book.'"--N Y Times"It is written with all the consummate art, the seeming-careless carefulness the ripe humor, the power in the depiction of character that have made Mr. Moore a master, and the delight of every reader to whom these great qualities appeal. The story lends itself easily to Mr. Moore's genius." --N Y Times
