J.M.BARRIE LITERARY SOCIETY NEW EDITION PUBLISHED MAY 9TH
Introducing Barrie’s young men. The Times declared that Mr Barrie had drawn therein the first true picture of a modern journalist.
While better known for his story of the boy who wouldn’t grow up, in the late 19th century Barrie made a reputation for the humorous portrayal of bachelors both in prose and on stage.
Acclaimed by critics and the public alike for their humour and realism, When A Man’s Single and Walker, London reveal much about young men of the time. He also explores and exposes journalism as a place for young men to find their feet and find fame.
Contemporary critics recognised the truth behind the humour. Much that is written in novels about journalism is pure nonsense, but Mr Barrie's journalistic training entitles him to speak one having authority.
This authority was hard won. In The Superfluous Man and Young Men I have Met, we find two earlier, lesser known serials from Barrie’s years, cutting his teeth as an anonymous young journalist.
