Talk:Margery Allingham

Campion and Success

I have slightly expanded this section, brought last known publication up to date and added a couple of cites. However, IMHO the subsection on the development of Campion's character is a bit topheavy for Life and Career, since there is a separate page for Albert Campion. When time permits, I hope to add section(s) on Style &/or Criticism, at which time I will redact the Campion material in the above section.

Legacy

I clarified the Random House entry after Vintage Anchor Random House (USA) confirmed for me that they do not publish the books. I removed the list of books because the major books have all been re-issued by two publishers and are still in some sort of circulation from at least two others. I feel that the bibliography section is sufficient. (My own collection includes Bantam and Avon editions in addition to Felony and Mayhem.)Nancyhmarshall (talk) 22:39, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

Mr Campion and Others

Having looked at https://margeryallingham.org.uk/the-novels/ and also at my personal copy of the 1950 Penguin edition: the list of stories given here is for the 1950 edition, not for 1939. I am not quite sure how to edit the table to capture this: perhaps create 2 entries, for 1939 and 1950?

Quote from the website:

MR. CAMPION AND OTHERS

Heinemann, March 1939

The first British collection of short stories includes nine of Albert Campion’s adventures, most (if not all) first published in The Strand Magazine, along with five miscellaneous tales, demonstrating the variety and consistent quality of Margery Allingham’s writing. The 1951 Penguin edition omits ‘The Border-line Case’, and replaces the miscellaneous stories with five more of Mr Campion’s exploits.

(1950 is the date in the paper copy, 1951 seems to be just a mistake. The contents of the paper copy are 13 stories, as listed in the Article, all with Mr Campion.) Alan-24 (talk) 13:26, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
