John Needham's Double : ウィキペディア英語版 | John Needham's Double ''John Needham's Double'' is an 1885 novel and 1891 play by Joseph Hatton, and 1916 silent film. ==Novel==
The novel is subtitled "A Story Founded on Fact" and is based on the story of Irish financier and politician John Sadleir, who committed suicide.〔(Some stories (review of book) ), ''The Saturday Review'' (October 10, 1885), p. 491〕 ''The Saturday Review'' negatively reviewed the book, calling it "simply the story of John Sadleir .. with certain highly improbable, not to say impossible, additions and corrections of Mr. Hatton's own. The story itself is neither interesting not instructive, nor yet amusing.... However, Mr. Hatton must not be taken too seriously. Lovers of cheap sensation will not be hypercritical, and will probably find ''John Needham's Double'' exciting enough."〔 ''Punch's'' review called it a shilling dreadful but was slightly more positive: "there is no room for tall writing, or mere padding, when a real good story has to be told in two hundred small pages of print large enough to defy twilight and railway-carriage lamps."〔(And Is Old Double Dead? ), ''Punch'' (August 22, 1885), p. 85〕
