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??

My Secret Life

Given that it is not certain that Ashbee wrote My Secret Life, shouldn't it really have its own article? john k (talk) 05:28, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

I second that idea. --Mightyfastpig (talk) 06:54, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Absolutly, Ashbee may well have edited and published it—but its far from clear that he wrote itSnori (talk) 10:57, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Done. Now a new article. Snori (talk) 11:18, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

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))

To add to article

Hammerton's Cruelty and companionship appears to have been withdrawn from the Internet Archive.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)
