First edition of one of Shiel's last novels before his decade-long hiatus from writing that began in 1913. The story proper is preceded by a lengthy essay, "On Reading", his "tremendous and involved philosophical treatise" (Morse), where he talks of the modern novel's "cackle and chaos of cacophony". This Knot of Life, a romance, involves the hero in the grip of a duplicitous Jewish secretary (more than a hint of Shiel's well-known antisemitism here) and incarceration in an asylum, before the fiery death of the malefactors. "The first few chapters are stifled in dialogue, but once it picks up momentum, it runs with all the speed, novelty, and poetry of any Shiel adventure" (Morse). This copy is in the secondary binding, with the publisher's name given as "Everett" at the foot of the spine (rather than "Everett & Co.") and with no blind stamped design on the back cover.

Walker (1876-1932) a Birmingham-based artist best known for his landscapes.
