The Little Professor

This Week's Acquisitions

  • Anna Maria Porter, The Recluse of Norway (Routledge, 1852).  One-volume reprint of the four-volume 1814 original.  (In very small and cramped type.)  Anti-Catholic novel set in seventeenth-century (wait for it) Norway.  Porter's sister is the better-known Jane Porter.  GoogleBooks has a copy of an 1834 edition of The Recluse.
  • [Selina Bunbury], The Abbey of Innismoyle: A Story of Another Century (Campbell, 1845).  US reprint of a novel initially published in Dublin in 1828.  Another novel with noticeable anti-Catholic overtones.  (Also: Damn! Bunbury wrote a novel about Anne Boleyn! [It will come in handy for Book II, at least.])
