Aet. 46, to a man of letters. Edmund Gosse’s possibly unsigned review of Evelyn Innes has not been located. Arthur Quiller-Couch’s review appeared in the Speaker (18 June and 2 July 1898).
In her letter to the Saturday Review (18 June 1898), Virginia Crawford explained George Moore’s theme in Evelyn Innes of instinctive morality.
The theme was previously explored in his novel A Drama in Muslin (1886): “the ideal life should lie… in making the two ends meet — in making the ends of nature the ends also of what we call our conscience” (page 228).
George further explained in two articles in the Westminster Gazette, June and July 1898.
