Talk:Henry Spencer Ashbee

The main entry should state that it's very likely that he published MSL, but: "...although he has often suggested as its author - most     recently, strongly and publicly in "The Erotomaniac"       by Ian Gibson" - this has not been proven..."

Charles Augustus Swinburne?
Is Algernon Charles Swinburne meant here??

Influence
American prudery might not like the remark, but I think it is utterly obvious that James G. Thurber was inspired by "My secret life" by "Walter" to create his deservedly most famous "The secret life of Walter Mitty". (Awaler (talk) 21:23, 26 April 2008 (UTC))

Hammerton's Cruelty and companionship appears to have been withdrawn from the Internet Archive. Does that have implications for this article? Harfarhs (talk) 13:28, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
