Review of The Star in the West

This work is called "a critical essay of the writings of Aleister Crowley." Yet it is, in truth far more than this, being a highly original study of morals and religion by a new writer, who is as entertaining as the average novelist is dull. Nowadays human thought has taken a higher place in the creation; or emotions are weary of bad baronets and stolen wills; they are now only excited by spiritual crises, catastrophes of the reason, triumphs of the intelligence. In these fields Captain Fuller [J. F. C. Fuller] is a master dramatist, and we have no hesitation in predicting hat modern readers, weary of the sordid and tawdry tediousness of gutter realism and Utopia idealism, will find in this book a satisfaction of many a heartache.
