You should also look at Julia Markus' gossipy group biography of
Hosmer and Cushman's circle, *Across An Untried Sea* (Alfred A.
Knopf, 2000).

Subject: Nathaniel Hawthorne
I am interested in finding out whether George Eliot read Nathaniel =
Hawthorne's The House of the Seven Gables. Any suggestions re. her =
opinion of Hawthorne generally would also be most helpful.

From: "Eileen M. Curran" <[log in to unmask]>
Subject: Re: dead serial writers
Thanks to Valerie Gorman for suggesting that one can find more "dead"
serial writers in the Wellesley Index. Often serendipitously, I'm afraid.
In the past I've found several but unfortunately don't remember names. And
they aren't always as clear as the example of Marryat's "Valerie." For
example, take T. E. Hook's "Fathers and Sons," which appeared in New
Monthly Magazine in 19 installments from Jan. 1840 through Aug. 1841.
Wellesley neither marks #19, Aug. 1841, as "concl." or explains why there
is no #20 in Sept. Hook had died on 24 Aug. 1841.
The DNB is another source of information--again, serendipitously. Looking
him up for a different reason, I found that William Leman Rede (1802-1847),
a dramatist and contributor to both Wellesley and non-Wellesley
periodicals, "died suddenly of apoplexy on 3 April 1847" while he was
writing/publishing a novel, "The Man in Possession," for/in the Sunday
Times.
Incidentally, there is another interesting category of serialized fiction
that one occasionally finds in Wellesley--novels that appeared for a few
installments, then disappeared because editor, publisher, or readers found
them tedious. Wellesley usually identifies them by the comment "No more
published" after the last number to appear. I don't think anyone has
examined these unfortunate works or asked what they say about the public's
critical standards.
