About this ebook

'Manslaughter' is a romantic novel written by Alice Duer Miller, an American writer whose poetry had an active influence on political opinion. The story begins with Miss Bennett witnessing a scene in the Thorne household, where Joe Thorne is carrying a child, who resists him fiercely, up a grand staircase. The child is upset because Thorne has taken two puppies that belong to her. Miss Bennett usually supports Thorne in his struggles with the strong-willed child, but she is annoyed by him after he is rude to her. Despite Lydia losing the skirmish over the puppies, Miss Bennett admires her for fearlessly resisting Thorne's iron will.

Alice Duer Miller

Alice Duer Miller (1874-1942) was an American novelist, poet, screenwriter, and women’s rights activist. Born into wealth in New York City, she was raised in a family of politicians, businessmen, and academics. At Barnard College, she studied Astronomy and Mathematics while writing novels, essays, and poems. She married Henry Wise Miller in 1899, moving with him in their young son to Costa Rica where they struggled and failed to open a rubber plantation. Back in New York, Miller earned a reputation as a gifted poet whose satirical poems advocating for women’s suffrage were collected in Are Women People? (1915). Over the next two decades, Miller published several collections of stories and poems, some of which would serve as source material for motion picture adaptations. The White Cliffs (1940), her final published work, is a verse novel that uses the story of a young women widowed during the Great War to pose important questions about the morality of conflict and patriotism in the leadup to the United States’ entrance into World War II.
