- Source: As Other Men Are
As Other Men Are is a 1925 collection of short stories by the English author Dornford Yates (Cecil William Mercer), first published in The Windsor Magazine. The title is a reference to the parable of the Pharisee and the Publican.
Plot
The book consists of ten short stories, many of which revolve around the relations between an impecunious former officer of the Great War and a woman of wealth. The title of each is the name of a significant male character.
Background
The stories were written for The Windsor Magazine.
Chapters
Critical reception
The author’s biographer AJ Smithers noted that these tales have a rather harsher tone than that of the earlier stories. Although they all have a happy ending, as required by the editor of The Windsor Magazine, he felt that by this date the writer was no longer seeing romance in the old-fashioned way. Some of his women can be greedy and vinegar-tongued, particularly the American women. Mercer's own wife, Bettine, was American and Smithers speculated that his tone was a reflection of the couple's marital problems, or that these stories were intended as a deliberate insult to her.
