  The Lost Club
Jepson proves to be an odd study in contrasts, he wrote popular novels that were, if not best sellers at least enough in demand to make for a relatively comfortable existence for the author and his family.
Jepson geared his essay to illume precisely why verses that contain lines such as "his hair was fl as a sheep's wool that is fl" ought to be called many things, but "poetry" is not one of the things that they should be called.
Jepson's memoirs indicate a passion for all that is great and awe-inspiring in literature, both in poetry and in prose.

 Edgar Jepson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Edgar Alfred Jepson (1863 - 1938) was an English writer, principally of mainstream adventure and detective fiction, but also of some supernatural and fantasy stories that are better remembered.
He was a member of the Square Club (from 1908) of established Edwardian authors, and also one of the more senior of the New Bohemians drinking club.
As a literary dynasty: his son Selwyn Jepson was known as a crime writer; his daughter Margaret (married name Birkinshaw) published novels as Margaret Jepson (including Via Panama) and as Pearl Bellairs; and Margaret's daughter Franklin is the writer Fay Weldon.

 Amazon.com: Arsene Lupin: Books: Maurice LeBlanc and Edgar Jepson   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
This is the first Lupin book I have read.
It is, in fact, the novelization of a play by Edgar Jepson, hence the fairly generic title.
It also explains the rather turgid plot structure of the novel, as the story begins in Gournay-Martin's country estate, shifts to his Paris house for about 80% of the novel, and finishes in Lupin's hideout.

 A Busload of Great Mysteries, or Fatter Is Better - October 5, 2005 - The New York Sun
Included were stories by many of the greatest names in the history of the genre, only a few of whom - Edgar Allan Poe and his detective, C. Auguste Dupin; Arthur Conan Doyle with Sherlock Holmes; E.W. Hornung with Raffles; G.K. Chesterton with Father Brown - remain widely read today.
The majority of Sayers's selections were by names now forgotten to all but the most fanatical of mystery readers: Mrs.
She provided an intelligent history of the detective and mystery story but fell down badly when attempting to predict the future.

 Novels - Fay Weldon
In her fiction, Weldon typically portrays contemporary women who find themselves trapped in oppressive situations caused by the patriarchy structure of Western, in particular British, society.
Weldon was born Franklin Birkinshaw in Alvechurch, Worcestershire, England to a literary family, with both her maternal grandfather, Edgar Jepson (1863-1938), and her own mother Margaret writing novels (the latter under the nom de plume Pearl Bellairs, after a character from Aldous Huxleys 1922 in literature novel Crome Yellow).
Weldon spent the first years of her life in Auckland, New Zealand, where her father worked as a doctor, but at the age of 14, after her parents divorce, moved to England with her mother and her sister Jane, never to see her father again.

 Shiel's Collaborators III: John Gawsworth (Terence Ian Fytton Armstrong) (1912-1970)
One is by two living writers, and the other is by Richard Middleton (of "Ghost Ship" fame) and his friend Edgar Jepson.
The biographical note says Jepson collaborated repeatedly with Middleton, who died in 1911 -- though since Gawsworth hoarded Middleton manuscripts, it's possible he had Jepson merely touch up one of these.
In this anthology, too, was "The Shifting Growth," by Edgar Jepson and Gawsworth.

[This translation from Polish makes convenient a play featuring protagonist Edgar Valopr, evidently a composite of the legendary Poe and of Poe's literary heroes, with major scenes occurring in "Nevermore Palace." Valopr is involved in obvious role-playing and masquerading, all in the manner of the surrealism popular during the 1920's.

 [No title]
During this same period, Horne was active in London literary circles as a member of the Rhymers' Club with W.B. Yeats, Ernest Dowson, Lionel Johnson, Edgar Jepson, Arthur Symons, and others.
A group of 20 letters from Horne to his friend, novelist Edgar Jepson (1863-1938) provides a vivid, if gossipy, account of life in the artistic and literary circles of the 1890s.
The letters, written during the years 1896-1900, mostly from Florence, contain recurrent references to poet and fellow Rhymers' Club member Arthur Symons and Horne's Italian mistresses.

Her mother, Margaret Birkinshaw, reportedly published two novels under her maiden name and wrote serial novels under the pseudonym Pearl Bellairs.
Weldon's maternal grandfather, Edgar Jepson, edited Vanity Fair and wrote popular romance-adventure stories, and his brother Selwyn authored mystery-thrillers and plays for screen, television, and radio.
Understandably, Weldon saw her literary ability as, at least in part, genetic.

 Scientific Detectives
"The Tea Leaf", Eustace's late (1925) collaboration with Edgar Jepson, finds him pursuing many of the same themes, some 20 years after his collaboration with Meade ended.
There is the same interest in freezing, the same impossible crimes explained through chemistry, the same interest in the geometry of rooms and buildings, the same obsessive characters, and the same brilliant female scientists: here one serves as the detective.
Morland was a protégé of Edgar Wallace, and this set-up recalls a bit Wallace's Sergeant Sir Peter (1929 - 1930), which stars an aristocratic young man who works as a British police Sergeant.
