Amanda McKittrick Ros

AMKR 's characteristic style is one of finely tooled alliteration. She meant this style to be taken seriously, but it has led to her being anthologised frequently in books of bad writing. Active at the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century, she produced three novels (one added to and published posthumously) as well as books of poetry, and broadsheet verse with commentary (often scurrilous).
