Excerpt from Maurice Hewlett: Being a Critical Review of His Prose and Poetry There are very few writers of today, who have produced so much fine work, concerning whom so little is known as in the case of Mr. Maurice Hewlett. The literary journals have been singularly free from the gossip so usual in the case of an author whose books have come to be recognized as events of more than ordinary importance. The reticence of the man is best summed up in his own modest words: "I have refused to give journalists any details of my personal history or private circumstances, because I felt that they were trading upon mere notoriety and proposing to feed the public with what was not good for it - even if it had an appetite. The business of critics, is to criticise a writer as such, and not help out his esthetic with facts which have really nothing to do with the maker. I could write novels with one eye quite as well as I could with two." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
