This study is the first comprehensive, full-length account of the
works of the Anglo-Jewish author Leonard William Merrick [formerly
Miller], (1864-1939). Drawing on unpublished materials, it covers
Merrick's twelve novels, his several volumes of short stories,
eight plays, and contributions to motion pictures. A former actor,
Merrick often wrote about actors; George Orwell regards Merrick's
fiction about the theater as the best of its time, especially ""The
Passion of Peggy Harper"" (1911). H. G. Wells applauded Merrick's
depiction of racism in ""The Quaint Companions"" (1903).
Anti-Semitism is shown in ""Violet Moses"" (1891). ""Mr.
Bazalgette's Agent"" (1888) is the first novel in English to star a
lady detective whose story is told through her diary. Many of
Merrick's works also focus upon a 'New Woman' The pioneering
meta-fictional aspects of Merrick's works deserve attention.
