Wilde and his Irish Connections in London, National Liberal Club, 28 March 2022.They have two children, a boy and girl, the former of whom now bears the familiar name of Fabian Bland. The Blands used to live at Blackheath, but now reside at Lee, in Kent. He is dark, wears a moustache and imperial, and is a little under 40. Mr Hubert Bland is a tall, broad, portly man, with a large head. Mrs Bland has a soft, melodious voice, and her manner may best be described by the French term enlinerie. Although her features are not precisely regular, their expression is full of charm when they are lit up by a smile or animated by any absorbing topic. She is a tall woman of somewhat over 30, with dark hair and eyes. Nesbit, the gifted poetess of Longman’s Magazineand the Weekly Dispatch, is known among her friends, literary and otherwise, as Mrs Edith Bland, wife of Hubert Bland. My new biography, The Life And Loves Of Edith Nesbit, will be published on 17 October 2019 and I love the cover my UK publisher (Duckworth/Prelude) has designed.Įdith Nesbit was a strikingly beautiful and unconventional woman. In May 1888, one-hundred-and-thirty-one years ago, a description of her bohemian household appeared in the Star under the heading ‘Gossip – Mostly About People’
