The Other End

Bag om The Other End

In his day, R. Ellis Roberts was a well-known literary critic and writer. He contributed reviews and articles to a number of periodicals, including the Daily News, Observer, Empire Review, London Mercury, Bookman, Saturday Review, and Guardian. He was literary editor for the New Statesman and Time and Tide, and he hosted a book review programme for BBC Radio. In 1923, his only collection of uncanny short stories, The Other End, was published by Cecil Palmer and received glowing reviews. The critic for the Bookman declared the author 'as well able to write stories of his own as to criticise those of others', having achieved a mastery of his subject that at times 'challenges comparison with Poe and Hawthorne'. And Gerald Gould, in the Saturday Review, suggested that no nervous person should read the book when 'alone at night in a remote cottage on a lonely moor'. This new edition of The Other End includes four reviews written by R. Ellis Roberts about the work of Arthur Machen, of whom he was an admirer-for the Bookman, Daily News, and Sewanee Review-and a biographical essay by Gina R. Collia, 'R. Ellis Roberts: The Critic Who Read for Pleasure'.
