Excerpt from Mrs. Lynn Linton, Her Life, Letters, and Opinions

Unfortunately for the success of the book, it was published as a three-volume novel, and, as such, miscarried. Written though it was with heart's blood, it failed to convince those who would have revelled in an avowed Confession.

It treated largely, as was inevitable, of persons with whom Mrs. Linton had been brought into contact, and in an unfortunate moment she conceived the idea of reversing her own sex and that of many of her characters for their better disguise. To those who could read between the lines the effect was somewhat bizarre, while to those not in the secret the story was in parts incomprehensible. Thus the book enjoyed a lesser vogue than any of her three-volume novels, and never reached a second edition. And yet it is a human document of real importance and engrossing interest.

Excerpt from Mrs. Lynn Linton, Her Life, Letters, and Opinions

In 1885, Mrs. Lynn Linton published what was to her friends the most interesting of all her works. Therein, under the guise of the Autobiography of Christopher Kirkland, she gave a sufficiently candid account of the first threescore years of her own somewhat chequered career.

Unfortunately for the success of the book, it was published as a three-volume novel, and, as such, miscarried. Written though it was with heart's blood, it failed to convince those who would have revelled in an avowed "Confession."

It treated largely, as was inevitable, of persons with whom Mrs. Linton had been brought into contact, and in an unfortunate moment she conceived the idea of reversing her own sex and that of many of her characters for their better disguise. To those who could read between the lines the effect was somewhat bizarre, while to those not in the secret the story was in parts incomprehensible. Thus the book enjoyed a lesser vogue than any of her three-volume novels, and never reached a second edition. And yet it is a human document of real importance and engrossing interest.

In a list of her works drawn out for a friend, Mrs. Linton inserted against Christopher Kirkland the words which Goethe had made famous, "Wahrheit und Dichtung," and to Miss Bird in after life she wrote of it -

"It was an outpour no one hears me make by word of mouth, a confession of sorrow, suffering, trial, and determination not to be beaten, which few suspect as the underlying truth of my life."

And, read as the story of a soul, it is surely worthy to rank with the most touching of self-revelations ever given to the world.
