"...In 1932 John Gawsworth undertook the original provision of 'Notes Toward A Definitive Bibliography' of Shiel in 'Ten Contemporaries.' But these pioneer descriptions were of first editions only and, like most bibliographies, always left the Shiel enthusiast panting for more complete information. Gawsworth stopped just short of the contents of the book. I have now taken the next step. This present volume collates or lists all known editions of Shiel's thirty novels. And in order to acquaint the reader with Shiel's honeyed, frenzied madness, I have commented briefly upon the contents of his romantic fantasies. This work is therefore something more than the usual dull bibliography..."
