See Helen Sard Hughes "A Precursor of Tristram Shandy" in the Journal of English and German Philology vol. 17 no. 2 who concludes that the story of Corporal Bates "was but one of many minor novels which in halting fashion prepare the way for the more perfect works of masters coming after . . ."

Hardcover. nice tight clean copy minor shelfwear only; jacket very attractive with just a touch of soiling and a couple of tiny edge-nicks. The trials and tribulations of an unwed mother -- or more precisely a divorcee who gets knocked up by her lover then refuses his half-hearted marriage proposal and subsequently suffers "pain hunger want." The jacket copy really goes to town in the best Macaulay house style: "No human experience is so profound and rich in emotion as the long crisis of pregnancy . . . and when the expected child must legally be fatherless then crisis is added upon crisis. . . . It is amazing that this situation has never before been treated in all its dramatic fullness. In this book the anonymous author tells a story that for sheet intensity and stark realism has not been equalled in modern fiction. . . . The book is more than literature. It is life itself."
