D'Arcy, Ella, 1851-1939?We have 1 book for this author.
 Ella D'Arcy (1856-1939) was an author of novels and short stories of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Born in London, she also spent time living in the Channel Islands. Her works are associated with the "New" fiction of the fin-de-siècle, characterized by an attitude of aestheticism, changing social attitudes and psychological realism. She was a contributor to the Yellow Book, and her impressionistic style and representations of the New Woman fit in well with that publication's content. She unofficially assisted Henry Harland in editing the periodical. She was a close friend of important women author and fellow Yellow Book contributor Charlotte Mew, who it is said had a romantic infatuation for her. Her works include the short story collections Monochromes (1895) and Modern Instances (1898), as well as the novel the Bishop's Dilemma (1898). Her translation of André Maurois' biography of Percy Bysshe Shelley, Ariel, was released in 1924. Many of her works were published by John Lane under the Bodley Head imprint.
