Copyright violation

The text on this page was a copy of [1] and [2], so I cut it. Gdr 19:02, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Was the Charles Hamilton article put under such a microscope - when still a WiP - I think not. Skull 'n' Femurs 15:50, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Charles Hamilton

I have taken this following paragraph out of the summary for now. It gives perhaps undue emphasis to Hamilton, and may be misleading in regards to Brazil's significance as a children's writer, as Brazil has been commented on in her own right for achievements in establishing tropes and themes, and reflecting social changes parallel with her writing, in girl's school stories without reference to the schoolboy equivalent. If it appears relevant in commentary written from further referenced research, it can of course be returned to the article, but perhaps would in any case belong to a section on the historical context of children's school literature.

"The equivalent in respect of boys' stories was Charles Hamilton (1876-1961), (pen name Frank Richards). This twentieth century genre aimed to write entertaining rather than merely instructional stories. L. T. Meade (1854-1914) was a hugely prolific author of School Girls' Stories in the second half of the nineteenth century, but in the much more overtly moralizing, instructional, style."

Work by Anonymous Editor

I am seriously inclined to revert most of the editing done by IP 90.209.236.38 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Angela_Brazil&diff=307135132&oldid=300023461

Some of this may well be legitimate (but no evidence whatsoever is offered as to why), the trouble with the editor's actions is that the article is carefully anchored in published academic commentary. It is possible the Anonymous editor might be correct in their assertion Angela Brazil was not as innovative as the article suggested (I disagree from my research however), but that cannot justify removing properly sourced claims just because you disagree with them without prior discussion.

I will not revert at this stage, I feel it is more helpful to give some time for this issue to be discussed in talk, as it should have been originally prior to these changes. Mesmacat (talk) 03:13, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The name Lesbia

The writer's choice of this name is probably influenced not so much by Sappho as by Catullus, the Roman poet who addressed lots of poems to a girl of the same name, but actually dedicated them to a girl called Clodia (which has the same metric value), who was already married to someone else.

Interpretations of lesbian content section

Actually, Romantic friendship was quite common for the time period, and not viewed as being lesbian or not normal or anything like that. Viewed through modern eyes, there certainly are homosexual overtones, but to state it wasn't normal for that time period isn't accurate. dyknowsore (talk) 07:21, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
