“_Not beauty alone, but that element of strangeness in beauty which Mr
Pater rightly discerned as the inmost spirit of romantic art—it is this
which gives to Miss Macleod’s work its peculiar æsthetic charm. But
apart from and beyond all those qualities which one calls artistic,
there is a poignant human cry, as of a voice with tears in it, speaking
from out a gloaming which never lightens to day, which will compel and
hold the hearing of many who to the claims of art as such are wholly or
largely unresponsive._” (James Ashcroft Noble, in The New Age.)
“_Of the products of what has been called the Celtic Renascence,_ ‘The
Sin-Eater’ _and its companion Stories seem to us the most remarkable.
They are of imagination and a certain terrible beauty all compact._”
(From an article in The Daily Chronicle on “The Gaelic Glamour.”)
“_For sheer originality, other qualities apart, her tales are as
remarkable, perhaps, as anything we have had of the kind since Mr
Kipling appeared.... Their local colour, their idiom, their whole
method, combine to produce an effect which may be unaccustomed, but is
therefore the more irresistible. They provide as original an
entertainment as we are likely to find in this lingering century, and
they suggest a new romance among the potential things of the century to
come._” (The Academy.)
