Is there some kind of thread linking the particular authors of your choice to which you might care to alert members? Just curious!

Yes, there is a lot of bias in the selection: where possible I keep clear of a) cloying sentimentality, b) violence, c) historical settings, d) passages in regional or bucolic dialect, and e) excessive orthodox religion.

On the other hand (considering also the next selections - John Oliver Hobbes and Vernon Lee) it is striking how most of our authoresses have had Lesbian inclinations. This aspect was not my plan or intention, it is just how it happened.

Having at last acquired Lucas Malet's Dogs of Want, I have to-day been able to scan and post it. The final book in the collection - The Private Life of Mr. Justice Syme - will now follow after a couple of days.

I have now posted The Private Life of Mr. Justice Syme, the last of Lucas Malet's novels. In fact it was completed by her cousin and adopted daughter Gabrielle Vallings. It seems to be a continuation of The Dogs of Want, with the same set of characters.

The Third
