Midsummer Stories and the Slippery Season
The piece argues that summer fiction is prolific and often vulgar, not immoral, noting the so called silly season extends beyond newspapers and that many summer books offend readers with coarse content. It critiques readers who rush to judge literature and calls vulgarity preferable to broad immoral labels.
Books Dal with Crude Taste and Sharp Social Scenes
A critic surveys recent novels noting vulgarity and coarse scenes in Albert Ross's His Private Character and Leander Richardson's Lord Dunmersey, deeming one or two episodes gratuitously offensive. Sounding Brass is described as silly, while Jessup's Judge Lynch and Fletcher's A Blind Bargain are praised for vivacity and presentation. Tupper's By a Hair's Breadth is seen as intriguing despite amateurish style.
