This was by no means her only outcry against the practice of stage piracy.

Emmuska, Baroness Orczy

Invited to contribute a serial adventure story (not a detective piece) to the newly launched Daily Express, she proposed the French Revolution story which eventually became The Scarlet Pimpernel, only to be told by the editor that her story absolutely must be modern. The result was The Shamrock, set in turn-of-the-century Russia, which she never reprinted in volume form.

F. Tennyson Jesse

She earned fifteen guineas for this piece. It became quite popular, but rumours spread that it was written by Frank Harris . Austin Harrison , editor of the English Review, sent her a letter to ask if she were a man or a woman, and invited her to come and see him. She impressed him with her wit and intelligence, so he introduced her to the owner of the paper, Alfred Mond . FTJ later wrote that from then onwards Alfred and Violet Mond were goodness itself to me and became dear friends.

Rudyard Kipling

The book was serialised in the Strand, where the first instalment appeared alongside one from Edith Nesbit 's The Story of the Amulet, the last of a trilogy featuring children who travel back in time to different historical cultures. Kipling had written Nesbit fan letters about the earlier books in the trilogy, but she now accused him of plagiarism and their friendship broke off.

Eliza Lynn Linton

ELL 's novel or romance entitled Patricia Kemball appeared serially in Temple Bar. It was then published in three volumes, bearing the next year's date.

Florence Marryat

FM 's non-fiction works include the travel book 'Gup', Sketches of Anglo-Indian Life and Character, 1868, and her Life and Letters of Captain Marryat, 1872. 'Gup' appeared serially in Temple Bar before being printed in a volume. The first word in the title comes from the Hindu word for gossip, and FM wrote it without benefit of notes or written records of her time in India. She gave her sister Augusta full credit for her invaluable help with the research for the Life and Letters of Captain Marryat. (This was before they quarrelled.) In 1893 she edited The Clairvoyance of Bessie Williams, an account of her career by a well-known spiritualist medium (also known as Bessie Davies from her husband's name), who had, besides, featured in There Is No Death. This book was billed on its title-page as related by herself, so that the role FM claimed for herself was that of ghost-writer or transcriber.

Elizabeth von Arnim

Reviewers judged EA 's subsequent novels to be largely forgettable. Macmillan published her Introduction to Sally in 1926 (a comedy which is Pygmalion-like but not otherwise Shavian ); her Expiation in 1929 (an exploration of the after-effects of adultery, also serialized in Nash's Magazine and Delineator); and her Father in 1931 (a town-and-country story of father-daughter relations, and an American Book-of-the-Month-Club choice). After this EA published the rest of her novels with Heinemann , beginning with The Jasmine Farm in 1934.
