| General Notes: | Verified in VIAF, Worldcat, and The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. On page 366 of the manuscript, Stainforth attributes the "Switzerland" play to AM and then crosses her name out, perhaps realizing that Jane is the correct author of the play. (Orlando confirms that this play was often misattributed to AM in the past, but archival evidence proves it was authored by Jane.) It is unknown whether Jane Porter is connected to the title Castles of Athlin and Dunbayne by Ann Radcliffe. |
