The Oasis of Futurity A Shrine to the Late-Lamented Amanda McKittrick Ros
Amanda McKittrick Ros was the writer of three peerless romantic novels as well as dozens of singular works of verse. Acclaimed in her lifetime by such notables as D. B. Wyndham Lewis, Mark Twain, James Agate, Aldous Huxley and Anthony Powell, she is nowadays largely forgotten.

These few pages are dedicated to her life and works, with the fervent wish that she be restored post-haste to her rightful place in the literary canon.

NEW: Amanda's books tend to be expensive to obtain: with that in mind I have prepared a pauper's guide to collecting her works.

If any follower of the trade of critic should ever read these pages, let him learn what happened to Donald Dudley, the Bastard Critic, and shudder trepidatiously.

You may read a letter in Amanda's hand to a man who had ordered a copy of Irene Iddesleigh.

With or without trousers? That rare volume St. Scandalbags unveils the naked truth.

In his new book, Nick Page reckons Amanda is the Worst of the Worst!

Euphues Redivivus redivivus! With the kind permission of the copyright holders, Aldous Huxley's essay about Amanda is restored to its rightful place on these pages.

When you are done warming yourself at this well-groomed grate, then with dry trousers proceed to learn of Amanda's struggling ascent over the Rocks of Regard, the multitude of her ornaments on the Shelf of Classic, and other Matters Miscellaneous.
