Jenny’s Case: By Ellen F. Pinsent: Third Review (Daily Chronicle): “’Jenny’s Case’ was similar to that of “Tess of the D’Urberville’s” and in one respect the author’s treatment of it is more original than Mr. Hardy’s. The story is told with extreme directness and simplicity, and with quite unaffected and unmanufactured pathos. We believe this is Mrs. Pinsent’s first novel. Everyone who reads it will hope that it will not be her last, though she will find it hard to beat”. … Fifth Review: (Literary World): “Displays tender sympathy with and true appreciation of the shrewd and hard, yet easily love-led nature of the English peasant, The lesson of self-respect and prudence, which is so well taught in this sad story of temptation and weakness, should be widely circulated amongst the class to which the heart-broken little heroine and her betrayer belong.” [two of five reviews from other papers]
