The people who accused in turn every writer of prominence in England of being the author of the novel, "A Superfluous Woman," which made quite a stir in literary circles for a time when erotie stories were pouring irom English intellects, can settle the question of authorship for good and all. The writer has revealed herseif. She is Miss Emma Brooke, the daughter ol an English landlord and capitalist. The earliest influence which gave cast to her character was the fact that she was born in a village which had bf.en in a measure the creation of her maternal grandfather, who was a great er of labor there. There was mucn inii was picturesque, excessively gloomy and repressed in Miss Brooke's earliest surroundings; her bringing up was religious, almost ascetic and austere. She had many opportunities for observing the rougher side of life. She attended Cambridge university, but carried away scarcely any honors, the greatest benefit she received being the reverence for oareful accuracy in speech and thought which her college training inculcated. Miss Brooke lives in London at present and is much interested in socialism, her latest book being on that subject. The book is considered by critics to be crude and dull.
