"Love's Pilgrim" is built upon the same '"'complex" that Lawrence used for "Sons and Lovers," but the idea is approached from a different point of view. We have here a young man who had been too dependent on his mother, who has allowed her to dominate him in all things. But, when he falls in love, he breaks away irom his moth- er's influence. She is a fascinating woman, and a strong, but selfish char- acter. Her continued domination would have wrecked his life. In Law- rence's novel, the young man did not break away. But though this mother-influence is the principal theme of Beresford's book, it does not constitute the whole It is complicated by a murder-mystery; and to the cast of characters consisting of the hero, his mother and his sweetheart is added a psychopathic sister who is capable of crime. There is a well-rounded plot here, and not a mere psychological treat- ise. The author has done his task with much skill and in small compass; the novel is a short one, in contrast with his carlier works. of the plot. Character Sketches by Galsworthy "CAPTURES" By John Galsworthy Reviewed by Norman Easterbrook Literary Editor, The Rochester (N. Y.) Democrat and Chronicle "Captures," John Galsworthy's latest book, is a collection of sixteen short stories, each different from the others in many respects, but true to the Gals- worthy type. Generally speaking, they are character sketches rather than ac- tion narratives. One feels that the somberness of a majority of these tales might have been relieved by a judicious sprinkling of sprightliness without harm. One of them, "Timber," with its grim satire and its gruesome ending, is a reminder of the Russian School of fiction. The most notable exception to this gloomy picturing of life is the conclud- ing tale. "Had a Horse" is one of the liveliest stories Galsworthy ever wrote, and as fine a bit of race-track literature as exists. To fail of reading it is to miss something really worth while. "Santa Incia" is a pretty fantasy, a day-dream recollection of a youthful passion by a retired and staid business man. "A Feud," first and longest of the tales, is a rather sordid rustic drama of West England. The scene of a "A. Hedonist" is laid near Charleston, S. C. It is a vivid depiction of the 'shortcom- ings of "Stroke the creed of pleasure. In of Lightning" the reader is guidance--dreamy, idealistic, and desper- ately endeavoring to adjust herself to her environment. At the age of thir- teen, Henrietta is suddenly transplanted from India to Ireland. Unused to the companionship of other children, she is dramatically thrown into association with the five young O'Hara neighbors, who were always in shabby homespun--dirty, noisy and slangy. of Henrietta Yorke and the eldest O'Hara boy is written a volcanic love story, having for its background Irish sunshine and bright blue skies.
