ESTHER WATERS: A Novel.

By GEORGE MOORE.

“Strong, vivid, sober, yet undaunted in its realism, full to the brim of observation of life and character, Esther Waters is not only immeasurably superior to anything the author has ever written before, but it is one of the most remarkable works that has appeared in print this year, and one which does credit not only to the author, but the country in which it has been written.”—The World.

“As we live the book through again in memory, we feel more and more confident that Mr. Moore has once for all vindicated his position among the half-dozen living novelists of whom the historian of English literature will have to take account.”—Daily Chronicle.

“It may be as well to set down, beyond possibility of misapprehension, my belief that in Esther Waters we have the most artistic, the most complete, and the most inevitable work of fiction that has been written in England for at least two years.”—A.T.Q.C. in The Speaker.

“Hardly since the time of Defoe have the habits and manners of the ‘masses’ been delineated as they are delineated here.… Esther Waters is the best story that he (Mr. Moore) has written, and one on which he may be heartily congratulated.”—Globe.

“Matthew Arnold, reviewing one of TolstoÏ’s novels, remarked that the Russian novelist seemed to write because the thing happened so, and for no other reason. That is precisely the merit of Mr. Moore’s book.… It seems inevitable.”—Westminster Gazette.
