Notes
[i] This book is actually attributed to the author Cynthia Stockley; likely the mistake was made by Dunbar-Nelson on the account of her misremembering the correct author.
[ii] Elizabeth Von Arnim, Countess Von Armin-Schlagenthin, later Countess Russell (born Mary Anette Beauchamp, 1866-1941).
[iii] Harold Everett Porter wrote under the pseudonym of Holworthy Hall, a Harvard University dormitory for freshmen.
