The Devil's Garden
1913. Described by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle as the greatest of British novelists, it was with The Devil's Garden that Maxwell became recognized as one of the most powerful and arresting novelists of his day. This work, described as a study of elemental passion, excited wide discussion and was attacked in many quarters for the daring of its theme, obsession and adultery. Maxwell was surprised and disappointed by some of the critical reaction to his book and particularly by the ban that was placed on it by the circulating libraries. Ironically the publicity it received boosted its sales and made Maxwell a household name.

The Mirror and the Lamp
The Rev. Edward Churchill is the third son of a widow, whose husband died when the children were quite small. Edward is her favorite child, and most accomplished, as he has completed his studies at Oxford, is ordained and awarded curacy on the East-End, where he works long hours. His own enthusiasm is dampened when his mother marries a vulgar man. Edward determines to make the "Lamp" of his soul reflect in the "Mirror" of his mind, showing nothing but a steady flame of right content. Then Edward finds his ascetic celebacy shattered when he meets a woman married to a brute. He rescues her from her unhappy marriage, and the two fall in love, causing the loss of his position, his reputation, and his faith.
Time Gathered
Mr. Maxwell numbered among his friends and acquaintances famous writers, artists, critics, actors, and statesmen. Here we get fascinating reminiscenes about Oscar Wilde, Charles Reade, Hanry James, Arnold Bennett, Conan Doyle, G.K. Chesterton, Edith Wharton, Sarah Bernhardt, Anatole France, to name a few. Thus the book is not so much an autobiography ... as it is a volume of significant and charming memoirs. -- Jacket flap
