For writers and serious students of fiction. 823 English fiction--History and criticism II Criticism Fiction. Analytic: English fiction--Bibliography 18-18775/6 Frankau, Gilbert. The other side, and other poems. N.Y. Knopf,1918. 74p. $1.

Also some love poems set into the background of war. 821 European War, 1914--Poetry 18-18774/3 Frothingham, Robert, ed. Songs of men. Bost.Houghton, 1918. 173p. $1.25.

Lyrical poems, some in pure English, others in negro dialect...
