I hope the year is going well for you. I was happy to learn of "Victorian Secrets" from the link to its website you provide on your LT profile. I have long thought I'd read something by Charles Reade, and I see that among the forthcoming titles is "Peg Woffington." And I'd like to try a novel by Margaret Oliphant, too (I wonder if that company will be reprinting any of her things). I have read Elizabeth Gaskell's "Cranford" with pleasure; can you suggest the next of hers I should read?
Best regards,

Not only have I read "Family Fortunes," I did so in graduate school studying British marriage law/social reform! Until I switched my fields, I had performed in-depth studies of the 1860's married women's property reform bill and the criminal law amendment act of 1885. In the end, I turned in a thesis on married women's wills in southwestern Mississippi from 1840 through 1919. All of these papers are 10+ years old and the research has likely been superceded, but you're welcome to take a look at them at my website:

I've got a bibliography of articles you may be interested in as well located here:

As for the book storage, wall space is at a premium at our house and we're going to have to either figure out a way to put in more bookshelves or else--horrors--weed the collection!!

I see we share several wonderful titles, including Tosh's "A Man's Place" but you're lacking my favorite and perhaps the book most influential on me in grad school: Patricia Jalland's "Women, Marriage, and Politics, 1864-1914." http://www.librarything.com/work/276180/book/14347147
I enjoy re-reading it every year or so and I recommend it highly.
Best of luck with your studies!!

Thank you for including our library on your interesting library list.

speaking of Collins, a few months back I read one of his later novellas (The Haunted Hotel). as you said, it wasn't one of his greats, but it was entertaining. there's a particularly gruesome scene with a severed head. ah, Victorian grossness at its finest.
my all-time favorite sensation novel is probably Lady Audley's Secret, though The Woman in White runs in a dead heat. I'm also quite partial to Louisa May Alcott's sensation stories. there are two collections: Behind a Mask & A Marble Woman, plus one other novel. A Marble Woman is my favorite of the collections. I don't know if you're into American lit, but you should give them a try when you're feeling up to juicier language. :)

The Christian Wolmar bok was on my Christmas wish list, received it, and is my next non-fiction read.
I won't waffle on as you've got so much on your plate at the moment, but wish you all the very best particularly with your back. All my sympathy!!

Michael Faber in his 'The Crimson Petal and the White'novel must have researched in the British Library along the same lines.
