Life
Author of A Twentieth-Century Hero, noticed in publisher’s
list appended to Maunsel pop. edn. of St. John Ervine’s Mrs. Martin’s
Man (1915; first edn. 1914), with reviews remarking that she ‘writes
charmingly of country scenes and love’, and is recommended to those
‘who like a simple old-fashioned tale’ (Pendennis, Pall-Mall
Gazette), and noting ‘the sympathy with which she has drawn Hetty’s
character so that we are enforced to believe in the purity and innocence
of the girl who has lived through so many sordid experiences, and to feel
real horror at her terrible fate’ (Westminster Gazette). IF
