A Collection of Songs and Poems on Several Occasions written by Isobel Pagan was published at Glasgow: since she was illiterate, she had dictated the text to a friend, William Gemmell .

VH kept diaries between 1876 and 1939. Often writing in French, she used her diaries to record and explain her perceptions of daily events and experiences; her entries are sometimes rooted in fact but...

This appeared as printed for the author. MC says her frontispiece, sketched in 1834, was to be her very last attempt at holding a pencil. Most of the lavish illustrations were by her...

The literary-critical preface, unusually for such a satirical work, bears her intials. Green says she has reasons for concealing her name, but will affix the REAL initials of that name to this advertisement. ....

CB 's stay in Brussels (as well as contributing eventually to Villette) produced a number of French exercises or devoirs, plus her subsequent letters to Constantin Heger . Four of the letters (of which...

For Pity's Sake, which appeared posthumously, was, says Cordelia Stamp , the last novel that ML wrote—or rather the last she worked at, revising it from an early story.
