Subtitled "The Natural History of a Woman?"

[edit]

The article said "subtitled The Natural History of a Woman ".

My copy, a 1939 Grosset and Dunlap edition "published by arrangement with J. B. Lippincott Company" has no such subtitle. None of the used-book listings at abebooks lists such a subtitle. Neither does the New York Times review of the book that appeared in 1939. Online searches of a few library catalogs do not show the title as anything but simply "Kitty Foyle."

On the other hand, e.g. a Google search of the phrase "Kitty Foyle, The Natural History of a Woman," turns up innumerable hits, all to the movie, none to the book.

Pending better references, I'm assuming that the correct full name of the book is Kitty Foyle, and the subtitle was added only to the title of the movie. Dpbsmith (talk) 02:16, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I take it back. I've found several display advertisements by J. B. Lippincott in The New York Times, the earliest dated February 11th, 1940, pg. 100, which give the subtitle. Dpbsmith (talk) 02:22, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
