...aloud to Prince Albert. Proper people were inviting her to dinners (she often declined). World rights to her books had brought in ?41,000, in buying power the Victorian equivalent of a cool million dollars. After Dickens' death in 1870, she was revered, quite simply, as the greatest novelist alive...
