_THE NOVELS OF E. M. DELAFIELD_
ZELLA SEES HERSELF
THE WAR WORKERS
THE PELICANS
_Joseph Hergesheimer_ writes:
“The solid accomplishment of Miss Delafield’s three novels establishes
her as a figure of actual literary importance. Writing, from her
first published sentence to the ending phrase of _The Pelicans_, with
a delicate mastery and finish, she expresses her witty and forceful
personality with the utmost clearness.
_Zella Sees Herself_, _The War Workers_, and _The Pelicans_ offer to
honest and intelligent people an enjoyment of what are recognized as
really high traits of creative literature together with a pervading
amusement and lively interest sustained from paragraph to paragraph
and from novel to novel. Miss Delafield is a valuable addition to the
number of writers, always small, whose books ornament equally the
drawing-room table and the preference of undisturbed private hours.”
