Lady Massington's Resurrection

Volume of short stories

Published (?) 1895


Well, here's a mystery.

In early 1895 the publishers Methuen & Co. announced the appearance of a new work by EFB: Lady Massington's Resurrection, and Other Stories (crown 8vo. 6s.) ~ mentions found in the end papers of a book titled Battles of English History by H. B. George (dated 01/1895), and in the Pall Mall Gazette's 'Literary Notes' of 16/02/1895.

A Mrs Massington appears in one of the novels ~ I don't know which and am too lazy to go hunting for it.

And I've found this mention in the EFB papers held by UCLA:

Box 5, Folder 64

Lady Massington's redemption.

Physical Description: 57pp., 26 cm, typescript, holograph corrections.

Scope and Content Note

Typescript title Lady Massington's resurrection, the last word crossed out and redemtion written by hand.
Text begins, The tide of carriages in St. James' Street had just turned...

But apart from that ~

nothing.
