Do you remember who the author of the article was? I bet it was my dissertation director. LOL

I would recommend that you start with her earlier works because they're hilarious. Moths is a great book, but it's a bit more heavy handed and didactic and lacks the ridiculous humor of her earlier works.

I'd start with Held in Bondage from the early 60s. The plot is so convoluted and LOL-arious and centered on romance. Strathmore is another good early one that features a homosocial relationship between the male protagonists, if that's something you like to read about in addition to the melodramatic plots. :)

Syrlin is a great one, too. It's very heavily dialogue driven book; lots of Wildean-esque quippery abounds. The topic is quite serious (the shift in English politics from a ruling aristocracy to a more democratic system), but it's handled quite deftly and interestingly IMHO. There's also some homosocial seduction going on here too and passionate artists!

Puck is a very, very funny book. It's told from the perspective of a Maltese dog (yes; a dog) who dishes all the dirt on his female owners over the years.

This is Ouida pictured in my icon.

Nope; he was some random Russian lad, so I don't think it's likely that he is your dissertation director?

Oh, she sounds (and looks) awesome. Frankly, I'm not sure when I'll get my hands on her books; I have The Flying Inn coming, and right now I'm struggling to finish three books at the same time, all of which happen to be historical novels/memoirs. But I'm definitely putting her on my reading list somewhere after The Inn.

That would not be my diss director. LOL

I hope you enjoy reading her when you do get the time. :)
