I am trying to read as many works by M. E. Braddon as possible (and make sure they are recorded, of course.) She is one of the best authors I saw. I can not recommend her wrighting enough! I saw that many of her works are not available in the sights in which I usualy look (gutenberg and the university of Adelaide.) I was wandering if anyone knows where I can find more of her works. I will list the works I'm looking for:
— The Octoroon [1861]
— Dead-Sea Fruit [1868]
— Robert Ainsleigh [1872]
— Publicans and Sinners [1873]
— Lost For Love [1874]
— Taken at the Flood [1874]
— A Strange World [1875]
— Hostages to Fortune [1875]
— Joseph Haggard [1876]
— Dead Men's Shoes [1876]
— An Open Verdict [1878]
— Asphodel [1881]
— Ishmael. A Novel [1884]
— Cut by the County [1887]
— The Fatal Three [1888]
— One Life, One Love [1890]
— The World, the Flesh and the Devil [1891]
— The Venetians [1892]
— The Christmas Hirelings [1894]
— Thou Art The Man [1894]
— Sons of Fire [1895]
— Rough Justice [1898]
— His Darling Sin [1899]
— The Infidel [1900]
— The White House [1906]
— Dead Love Has Chains [1907]
— During Her Majesty's Pleasure [1908]
The Captain of the Vulture (1863)
Only a Clod (1865)
To the Bitter End (1872)
Wyllard's Weird (1885)
Thou Art The Man (1894)
I don't expect you to find everything, of course. But if you can find some, I'll be most greatful. Really!
