I think you're absolutely correct; nonetheless, like moths to the flame....
Sewell's biography is still the best, sad that other than her great intelligence she had a relatively normal childhood with dreams of love and suchlike until whatever happened happened and she recluded herself in her twenties. Think the Civil War massively inspired her yet there's very little about it in her poetry, and, other than dead soldiers being brought back to Amherst, very little in her letters as well

Interesting. No reason why any of it should be fraudulent given that few know who either are. Another brother-brother pair the lesser known of which is perhaps more interesting is Geoffrey as opposed to Tobias Wolff.

Interesting. Brings Dickinson to mind, oddly.

The She rec's weirdly accurate, given that I've read most all of Haggard, Sabatini, and even Kipling. Whoa.
May this prescience serve (you) well in the New Year and beyond..
