Howard Overing Sturgis Books Overview

Tim

‘Tim’ 1891 is a delicate portrayal of a sensitive boy’s devoted affection for an older boy a very touching story of a tender and self forgetful character. Howard Overing Sturgis 1855 1920 was an English writer, the author of only three novels: ‘All That Was Possible,’ ‘Tim,’ and ‘Belchamber.’ He attended Eton College, where some of the scenes in ‘Tim’ take place. He was an intimate friend of Henry James. ‘My dearest of all Howards, I long so for news of you that nothing but this act of aggression will serve, and that even though I know none better! what a heavy, not to say intolerable overburdening of illness is the request that those even too afflicted to feed themselves shall feed the post with vivid accounts of themselves. But though I don’t in the least imagine that you are not feeding yourself I hope very regularly and daintily, this is all the same an irresistible surrender to sentiments of which you are the loved object downright crude affection, fond interest, uncontrollable yearning. Look you, it isn’t a request for anything, even though I languish in the vague it’s just a renewed ‘declaration’ of dispositions long, I trust familiar to you and which my uncertainty itself makes me want, for my relief, to reiterate…
‘ Henry James to Howard Sturgis, Sept. 2nd, 1913

All That Was Possible

Howard Overing Sturgis 1855 1920, born into an affluent New England family in London, was an English author. He wrote only three novels, ‘Tim. A Story of School Life’ 1891, ‘All That Was Possible‘ 1895 and ‘Belchamber’ 1904, and one short story, ‘On the Pottlecombe Cornice’ 1908. His works were praised by Henry James and Edith Wharton. Howard Sturgis’ ‘All That Was Possible‘ is a successful psychologic study. Here is one ‘Mrs.’ Sibyl Crofts, who discreetly retires to a Welsh countryside after her London ‘past.’ She meets Robert Henshaw, a rigidly conventional squireen belonging to the neighborhood. At first he shows open hostility to Sibyl, a beautiful and charming woman, yet, as in time they become closely acquainted, Henshaw, though knowing her history, falls to her fascinations…
The American Monthly Review of Reviews Howard Overing Sturgis has has handled his subject with great skill and delicacy and with a remorseless logic that compels the reader to recognize the outcome as inevitable. The story is told in the form of letters, which can be used by a clever writer with excellent results. The letters, all written by Sibyl, are used as a vehicle for conveying facts, not as a medium for revealing character. The book is extremely interesting. It is so devoid of any preaching, yet so logical in its conclusions, that no thoughtful person can read it without acquiescing in the lesson it so quietly inculcates.M. K. Ford; The Critic
