Publisher's Synopsis
This novel is so sane psychologically, especially in its day of half-baked Freudians notions. Not once is a 'complex' mentioned; and though Foster, our main character, whose mother is one of the most cannibalistic of the maternal species, is depicted by Beresford without resort to 'clinical' terms. Never was he more the novelist's novelist than in the psychological drama of "Love's Pilgrim." As an editor who yearly read tons of unpublished material of Freudian inspiration, I would like to see a course in Beresford prescribed method for all youthful aspirants to this novelist's literary approach. (Early on, H. P. Lovecraft took notice).
