George Egerton, The Wheel of God (1898)


On 6 August 1895, an anonymous correspondent to the Daily Chronicle wrote that, following the imprisonment of Oscar Wilde, ‘we have seen The Yellow Book turn grey in a single night’. Panicked by Wilde’s downfall, the publisher John Lane removed Aubrey Beardsley, whose illustrations had characterized the journal’s decadence, from his editorial role and then, two years later, ended his ‘Keynotes’ new fiction series. He had already, allegedly, attempted to censor the work of the writer whose first short story collection had inspired the series: George Egerton (Mary Chavelita Dunne). By 1898, Lane and Egerton had parted company so that her only novel, The Wheel of God, was to appear with Grant Richards, another Lane protégé.
