— Review of Jonah Louis Stone , 1911 single work novel ; Below and on Top Edward Dyson , 1898 selected work short story Lindsay's 1950s article on Edward Dyson and Louis Stone tries to situate the writers in the Australian literary tradition dominated by Henry Lawson, Steele Rudd and Joseph Furphy. Lindsay acknowledges the uneven quality of Dyson's stories, but praises the mining stories of Below and on Top. Stone's novel, Jonah, is praised for the "vivid character-creation and . . . subtle and profound psychology" that is "sustained by the brilliant visualisation of the background".
