Evidence:
Henry James to Hugh Walpole, 13 May 1910: 'I "read," in a manner, "Maradick" -- [...] Your book has a great sense and love of life -- but seems to me very nearly as irreflectively juvenile as the Trojans [ie "The Trojan Horse" (1909), Walpole's previous (and first) novel] [...] Also the whole thing is a monument to the abuse of voluminous dialogue [...] And yet it's all so loveable'.
