It notes Miss Craven’s piece on “Dress and Dany dies” showing dandies long before Brummel and argues Brummel’s fame rests on the man, not merely his clothes.

The Great Miss Driver by Anthony Hope review
A mixed critique of Anthony Hope’s new society novel The Great Miss Driver. The plot follows Jenny, daughter of a businessman, through flirtations, blackmail, and social entanglements as she discovers love, wealth, and marriage. The review notes the drawing room drama, lack of action, and departure from Hope’s knightly tales, yet calls it an engaging if unhistorical tale.
