Margaret Harkness was born in 1861 and used the nom-de-plume "John Law" for all her books. Mr. Sutherland calls the details of her life "tantalisingly obscure". We do know that she was an ardent socialist; a cousin of Beatrice Webb and a friend of Eleanor Marx and Olive Schreiner. She began her literary career with hack work in the British Museum. Engels admired her first novel (A City Girl), and his comments on it are said by some to be a classic instance of early Marxist literary criticism. But how can Marxism have a connection with the Art of literature? Of the ten books she published I have been able to find only seven. The three descriptions of life in India are at least as interesting as her early novels, so I have included them. Our intention is to offer, where possible, djvu versions of the first editions. Wherever such is unavailable the closest available alternative is provided. A suitable djvu reader may be down-loaded here: www.cuminas.jp/en/downloads/download/?pid=101) A City Girl (1887)MHJL0102) Out of Work (1888)MHJL0203) In Darkest London [or Captain Lobe] (1889)MHJL0304) A Manchester Shirtmaker: a realistic story of to-day (1890)MHJL0405) George Eastmont: Wanderer (1905) - introuvable 06) Glimpses of hidden India (1908)MHJL0607) Indian snapshots (1912)MHJL0708) Modern Hyderabad (Deccan) (1914)MHJL0809) The Horoscope (1915) - introuvable 10) A Curate's Promise (1921) - introuvable

I'm unsure what you think about this.

Put it down to the Sorabjinx of the twenty-second century what. I know neither what if anything they might be nor the purpose of the "what" at the end of your sentence, but the writing style is familiar...
