Seventy-Six (novel)
- ... that John Neal wrote Seventy-Six so fast that he swooned? Page 34 of this book says "In an eight year period John Neal published six novels ... they were written with what Neal called 'marvellous rapidity' ... Seventy-Six, begun Feb. 16, 1822, and finished March 19, 1822". Page 114 of Neal's autobiography says "And so, one evening, I tumbled out of my chair, while driving away at 'Seventy-Six,' .... I had fainted, — swooned, — from overwork."
- ALT1:... that "every chapter" of the 1823 novel Seventy-Six is said to be "covered with blood, or heaving with the throes of lacerated flesh"? Source: Page 354 of this dissertation says "In a very brief notice under New Books Published in June the Monthly Magazine or British Register remarks of Seventy-Six: "It is rude and boisterous; every chapter being covered with blood, or heaving with the throes of lacerated flesh."

- Comment: I added ALT1 as an afterthought, but looking them both over, I think ALT1 will grab more attention. Let me know what you think. Thank you in advance for your review of this nomination!

New enough, great quality (certainly good enough for GAN as it stands and would likely fare well at FAC). Hook facts both present although I agree that ALT1 seems more striking. Assuming good faith on the sourcing (couldn't access all of the books or PDFs linked) but this one seems good to go. 𝄠ʀᴀᴘᴘʟᴇ ꭗ 15:10, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you for the review and the quality comments. I might just go ahead and nominate it for GAN. And yes, let's use ALT1. Dugan Murphy (talk) 21:32, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
