'A landmark article in two key issues that confront critical opinion since Richardson's death: her use of autobiography and her style. Hope asserts that Maurice Guest is a novel of musical genius written under the influence of the Nietzschean superman, despite its often moody prose and its clear writing out of her frustrated musical talent.
