Notes

In his note to the Rossetti Archive transcription of this story, PC Fleming writes: "This is one of the works in The Oxford and Cambridge Magazine of which the authorship is least certain: it is by either William Morris or William Fulford ... For a detailed discussion of the evidence of authorship for this story ... see LeMire's introduction to The Hollow Land ... The contemporary setting favors Fulford as the author, rather than Morris, whose stories in the Magazine usually have medieval settings." In the Rossetti Archive, the author credit for this story is "William Fulford (?)"
