I did read Wood's East Lynne, attracted by the Oxford cover, I've never read a thing by Mrs. Humphrey Ward and have no idea what her first name is.Frisbeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07394353185610393979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25137929.post-47215723090716178412010-12-14T16:10:50.495-08:002010-12-14T16:10:50.495-08:00Oh yes, I think you've got them straight.

I recommend Cousin Phillis, Lady Ludlow.<br /><br />Not that I don't like Oliphant. Have you tried the Ladies Lindore. I loved that one -- and her ghost stories, The Beleaguered City (a masterpiece you won't be able to put down) and her criticism. Hester too.<br /><br />EllenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
