About this book
My Contemporaries In Fiction by David Christie Murray is a set of essays. The introduction says the essays appeared simultaneously in many newspapers and that its writer expected to make some enemies. The contents list names, among others, Robert Louis Stevenson and Miss Marie Corelli.
The text says Mr. W. D. Howells, an American writer of distinguished ability, as times go, set afloat the phrase that since the death of Thackeray and Dickens fiction has become a finer art. The text says Mr. Moore resents with some warmth the obvious parallel which has been drawn between Zola and himself. A dervish described as observant and synthetic-minded had the method of that famous detective, though his name was not Sherlock Holmes.
