Lucilla Lewes A Bohemian Tale In London Circles
A review of Lucilla Lewes recounts a 16 or 17 year old girl drawn into a Bohemian London milieu. The vivid setting centers on a house in Houttaimepton Street where actors and courtesans mingle nightly, with an illicit romance and self destruction driving the plot. The piece notes coarse color imagery but finds the scene realistically drawn and hints at a glimpse of Salvation Army life in London by night. Published by Messrs. Stanley Paul & Co.
