Seven writers of the 1890s take on London: J. M. Barrie’s clubman entangled in a waiter’s private life, F. Anstey’s comic black poodle, Arthur Morrison’s East End husband in That Brute Simmons, Israel Zangwill’s ghetto romance, Beatrice Harraden’s idyll, Quiller-Couch’s omnibus and Marie Corelli’s hired baby.
