...19th Century's haunting ghost with many a mocking exorcism; succeeding scholars are now finding a sympathetic task in recreating its soul. A sign of the times, this latest study of Poet-Painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti and his earnest men is a credit not only to its authoress' heart but to her scholarship and her mind. Poor Splendid Wings got the pre-eminence over 800 other mss., won for Authoress Winwar the Atlantic Monthly-Little, Brown $5,000 non-fiction prize...

Georgia-born (1903) and bred, Authoress Miller got her schooling at Waycross High School, where she took more than an academic interest in English and in her English teacher (W. D. Miller), whom she married two months after graduation. Now she lives in Baxley, Ga., where her husband teaches school. She finds time to write while...
...this obviously shrewd and salty old lady, whose sentences may seem rather primer-like but are just as lucid as a primer's, should have gathered such a lurid reputation as murderess of the King's English. Such readers should remember that in Alice B. Toklas Authoress Stein is on her best behavior. If they are sufficiently curious to look up some of her wilder work, this is the kind of thing they may find...
