A Spirit in Prison
The Bay of Naples: a widow, her daughter, an island, and a young man who does not know whose son he is. Hichens made his name at twenty-nine with The Green Carnation, an anonymous satire on Wilde so accurate it was withdrawn after the trials; here he writes the south - heat, water, a mother's secret - at enormous length and with real hypnotic power.
