Excerpt from Land's End: And Other Stories
Mr. Steele's pictorial sense is somewhat akin to that of Fromentin in Dominique, though less hard by virtue of his sense of wonder. The stories collected in this volume have, in fact, a quality of romantic escape rare in our American life, and so correspondingly rare in our American literature. Landscape, with its human fore ground, gives Mr. Steele a sense of liberation, so that it is a refuge for him from the impact Of facts, so falsely called reality by most men. He is, therefore, a romantic realist, who refuses to escape from life, but contents himself by making a truce with it. If his stories reveal a certain nostalgia, it is a personal nostalgia, and it does not color his interpretation of life. You feel that his quarrel is with the matter-of-fact rather than with civilization.
In this respect he is to be contrasted with Synge, though there is much resemblance in other ways between the two writers. TO Synge.

Excerpt from Land's End: And Other Stories
When "A White Horse Winter" was first published in the Atlantic Monthly in 1912 it was at once realized by discriminating readers that a new talent of great promise had appeared in American short-story literature. In the six years which have followed the publication of this story, Wilbur Daniel Steele has pursued a course of uncompromising fidelity to his literary ideals, publishing comparatively few stories, but maintaining a standard of imaginative reality which has slowly, but surely, deepened in an art which bears all the signs of permanence.
If I were asked to indicate the single quality by which Mr. Steele's stories rightly claim their place in our literature, I should say that it was by virtue of his sensitive fidelity to the more abiding romance of ordinary life.
