  Alice Meynell Essay
Although critical and scholarly commentary on Meynell has been sparse since her death, her essays are still insightful, elegant, and vivid, and cover a wide range of subjects from literary criticism to women's suffrage to English grammar to children.
Interestingly, Meynell wrote commentaries on (at the time) less familiar women writers of the Romantic period, who are currently being reincorporated into the literary canon, such as Anna Seward and Joanna Baillie, in The Second Person Singular (1921), and Mary Wollstonecraft and Elizabeth Inchbald, published in the posthumous collection Essays of Today and Yesterday (1926).
Meynell clearly became part of the contemporary literati, but her writing, though polished and sophisticated, maintained the accessibility and relevance that made her column so widely read in the 1890s.
