MADAM DORRINGTON ON THE DENE.
A STORY OF ENGLISH LIFE.
“Round Madam Dorrington’s Dene, country neighbours are sown as rich in peculiarity as in those which diversified the existence of Fredrika Bremer’s heroines. The story is full of vigour and freshness.”—Athenæum.
“We have now to welcome Mr. Howitt as a fiction writer of high excellence. He has evinced a rare power in the portraiture of his principal character—the inimitable Madam Dorrington. The characters of the sterner sex are also admirably drawn. Jeremiah Gould, the vicar of Westwood, is worthy of Goldsmith.”—Weekly Chronicle.
“Madam Dorrington is a model of womanly beauty, dignity, tenderness, and truth. There is no female character of modern times worthy of being compared to her.”—Sunday Times.
“It is English country life in its most charming aspect.”—Examiner.
