Debut novel edit

I added her debut novel The Seven Sleepers of Ephesus with minimal information from 1893 newspapers. I find these reviews by search for the title at ProQuest.com Historical Newspapers/Magazines. Each one or two substantial paragraphs in a column or compilation.

  • The Manchester Guardian, 14 March 1893, p. 9, "Books of the Week"
  • The Athenaeum, 1 April 1893, p. 406 (column begins earlier)
  • The Academy, 8 April 1893, p. 302, "New Novels" (G. Barnet Smith)
  • The Speaker, 15 April 1893 p. 433, "Fiction"
  • The Bookman, April 1893, p. 26 (column begins earlier)

Evidently the story is a compressed melodramatic effervescent brisk adventure romance potboiler; The Seven Sleepers of Ephesus a revolutionary society somewhere in Europe. --P64 (talk) 18:03, 28 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
