Thanks, Doitsu
I really appreciate all the help I've been given, and have another but different query.
I'm in the final stages of preparing
The Benefactress for the MR library. Towards the end of the book the person the heroine is going to marry is in a German prison, and the author describes in horrifying detail the conditions in the prison.
I know that Graf Henning von Arnim-Schlagenthin, the author's husband, spent some time in prison, and suspect some of the details she gives came from personal observation. But I don't know whether he was imprisoned before the book was published in 1901, or later. He has an entry in the German Wikipedia, but I can't read it.
Could you read it for me please, and tell me when he was imprisoned? I always like to do a brief introduction 'About this edition' in the ebooks I do, and if he was imprisoned it would be worth mentioning that in the introduction.
Also, I've read in one of the articles on her that they separated in 1908. Could you tell me whether that's in his Wikipedia article?
