About this ebook
Excerpt:
"The next event I can chronicle was opening my eyes on a scene at once so beautiful and strange that I started to my feet in amaze. This was not my study, and I beheld nothing of the magazine which was the last thing I remembered seeing before I went to sleep. … I was recalled to the necessity of behaving more decorously by hearing someone near me exclaim in mystified accents, "By Jove!

Elizabeth Burgoyne Corbett
Elizabeth Burgoyne Corbett (1846-1930) was an English novelist, journalist, and feminist. In addition to her work for the Newcastle Daily Chronicle, Corbett was a popular adventure and detective writer whose work appeared in some of the Victorian era’s leading magazines and periodicals. In response to Mrs Humphrey Ward’s “An Appeal Against Female Suffrage,” published in The Nineteenth Century in 1889, Corbett wrote New Amazonia: A Foretaste of the Future (1889), a feminist utopian novel set in a futuristic Ireland. Despite publishing a dozen novels and two collections of short fiction, Corbett—who was once described by Hearth and Home as a master of the detective novel alongside Arthur Conan Doyle—remains largely unheard of by scholars and readers today.
