Sheesh, I doubt a fresh Ph.D. in Eng.Lit. could recognize even a couple of those names.
Sic transit gloria mundi, "of the writing of books", etc. (Stories good ?  - you took the trouble, so I'll guess yes)

Ah, fleeting fame. I was only familiar with 4 of those writers.
I really enjoyed some of the stories. Some others, well... Sorry, I am not much help, am I? |

According to my notes, these dates differ from yours:
John Kendrick Bangs (1862-1922) Ruth McEnery Stuart (1849-1917) |

and WHOOPS! Those glitchy gremlins are sabotaging my keyboard.
Thank you for keeping me straight, Jellby --- Bangs dates got copied from next author on list (Grant), but don't know where the McEnery info got fried. ISFDB.com [which I use frequently] says 1852-1917, wikipedia says 1849-1917, and I managed to type a third set of numbers... Uploading corrected file. |
