[edit] Breathless

Isn't this a bit breathless? "Hijinks"? "A magnificent Irish girl"? - Jmabel | Talk 08:14, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Yah, not to mention "a Jewish rogue"! Exitr 12:17, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

That's actually on the mark. Svengali is a bit of an anti-Semitic stereotype. - Jmabel | Talk 01:41, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Public domain?

The link to the complete text of the novel is broken. I was looking for a replacement and was surprised to find not a single e-text anywhere. All novels published in 1894 are in the public domain--I thought that was universal. And if it's in the public domain, why wouldn't someone have put up a text? It's one of the better known 1890s novels, I would think. Could it be a trademark issue? That seems unlikely, but it's the only thing I could think of. Nareek 02:15, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Dealt with, two complete online texts linked. - Jmabel | Talk 18:51, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spoilers

The plot summary contains massive spoilers and should not be on the page, otherwise a spoiler tag must be used. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.234.99.250 (talk) 01:45, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
