AFTER THE PARDON Spring Publications OF The Stuyvesant Press ——— A Woman of Uncertain Age By MARY ANNE BERRY After The Pardon By MATILDE SERAO The Woman Herself Anonymous The Isle of Temptation By ARTHUR STANLEY COLLETON The Woman, The Man and The Monster By CARLETON DAWE The Diary of a Lost One Ed. by MARGARETE BÖHME All the above, cloth, 12mo AFTER THE PARDONBY FOREWARDIn this romance, the author has vividly pictured the ravishing fierceness of the love which sways the Latins and bends them to its desires. Graphically she has shown how their passions force them beyond all laws and duties, beyond all vows. In them the emotional nature and the finer intelligence are ever at variance. They confuse that rude instinct which is jealousy, physical and base, with the higher and more ardent love—the virile affirmation of possession with the fresher, more vigorous desire of love’s happiness—but this does not make their passions more trivial nor less consuming. The author’s gifts are of rare quality. She delves alike into the souls of her characters and into their more animal humanity, and contrasts their weaknesses with their strength in a striking manner. The story is of the intensest interest. F. F. CONTENTS
