E.(Ethel) L.(Lilian) Voynich : The Gadfly
'What do you think of the "Gadfly"? I wrote what I thought to P.[presumably Sydney Pawling of Heinemann] who rejoined gallantly. But it comes to this, if his point of view is accepted, that having suffered is sufficient excuse for the production of rubbish.[...] I don't remember ever reading a book I disliked so much.'
