John Maxwell

Newspapers spread, apparently at publisher John Maxwell 's behest, the story that he and MEB had recently married; this rumour was soon discredited when his wife's family publicly protested.

A small scandal erupted in 1867 when the Athenæum pointed out that MEB 's Nobody's Daughter; or, The Ballad-Singer of Wapping, was in fact the same as the previously serialised Diavola; or, The Woman's...

As soon after the death of his first wife as he was legally able, John Maxwell finally married MEB , after a thirteen-year common-law relationship.

The same Gazette piece also drew attention to John Maxwell 's dubious advertising practices. A minor scandal ensued in a number of journals, fuelled by a forged letter from MEB as editor, claiming ignorance...

Periodicals were vital to MEB 's career from the beginning. Having set out by regularly contributing sensational fiction to the Halfpenny Journal, she continued to provide articles in, for example, Punch and The World...

John Maxwell , publisher and husband of MEB , died of influenza.

This was the date of the first number of John Maxwell 's St. James's Magazine, which appeared under the editorship of AMH .

KSM first reached print with a short story in a recently-launched periodical, The Welcome Guest, A Magazine for All.
