Mary Anne MacDowell was born in Fitzrovia in 1824. In 1850 she married Thomas Duffus Hardy, who was Deputy Keeper of Records from 1861 to 1878. In that capacity he was knighted in 1873, and that is how she gained the appellation "Lady Duffus Hardy". She appears to have written fourteen novels, nine of which we can present here. The remaining five are at the British Library but are not at present able to be downloaded. Her style is interestingly old-fashioned. Her novels:01) Savile House (1853, 2 vols bound together, under the nom-de-plume "Addlestone Hill") LDH0102) The Artist's Family: an Historical Romance (1857) 03) The Two Catherines (1862) 04) A Casual Acquaintance (1866, 2 vols) LDH0405) A Hero's Work (1868, 3 vols) LDH0506) Paul Wynter's Sacrifice (1869) LDH0607) Daisy Nichol (1870) LDH0708) A Woman's Triumph (1872, 3 vols) 09) Lizzie (1875, 3 vols) LDH0910) Madge (1877, 3 vols) LDH1011) Beryl Fortescue (1881, 3 vols) 12) In Sight of Land (1885, 3 vols) LDH1213) A Dangerous Experiment (1888, 3 vols) LDH1314) A Buried Sin (1894, 3 vols) Our intention is to include, where possible, djvu versions of the first editions. Wherever such is unavailable, which is often, the closest available alternative is provided. A suitable djvu reader is Sumatra, which may be down-loaded from sumatrapdfreader.org/ Linux users might turn to Evince, from wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evince - and there are several others.

And yet another! I wouldn't mention it but you do appear to have an audience of one (i.e. yourself) among the membership here for these booklists of female English authors from the Victorian era. I am uncertain of the particular parameters that determine your choice thereof but it is clear from most that looks isn't among them!

thethird.freeforums.net/board/77/booksThe numbers in the "views" column to the right are already always growing in quite a healthy manner though. Really the member worries overmuch does he not?

For the record, "the member" (that is to say this member) doesn't "worry" at all about it, nor does he feel that he has any need to do so; what he implicitly referred to, however, was the sheer lack of commentary, reaction et al, in posts here - no more, no less.
