AbstractHistoryArchive Description

English tale of an author who starves to death through editors neglecting to read, publish or pay for his work. Warmly humane tone given to the narrative by the poor landlord who cares for him without rent as he lies dying, and pays for his coffin and funeral. Interesting ironic side references to women - vanity, curiostiy etc. (Told by a woman?) (PB)
