  MARY FITTON - LoveToKnow Article on MARY FITTON   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
1578-1647), identified by some writers with the dark lady of Shakespeares sonnets, was the daughter of Sir Edward Fitton of Gawsworth, Cheshire, and was baptized on the 24th of June 1578.
In Gawsworth church there is a painted monument of the Fittons, in which Anne and Mary are represented kneeling behind their mother.
It is stated that from what remains of the coloring Mary was a dark woman, which is of course essential to her identification with the lady of the sonnets, but in the portraits at Arbury described by Lady Newdigate-Newdegate in her Gossip from a Mvniment Room (1897) she has brown hair and grey eyes.

 Shiel's Collaborators III: John Gawsworth (Terence Ian Fytton Armstrong) (1912-1970)
Since a distant ancestor, Mary Fytton, was identified with Gawsworth Hall in Cheshire (Gawsworth hoped she was the "Dark Lady" of Shakespeare's sonnets, but she wasn't), Armstrong became "John Gawsworth" inviting (perhaps deliberately) permanent confusion with novelist John Gallsworthy.
Gawsworth's anthologies were probably not as good as Lady Cynthia Asquith's Not at Night series, but better than Charles Birkin's Creeps series (whose Gawsworth's resemble in title).
Gawsworth also found time to anonymously edit a third anthology in 1936 (was he working in competition with himself?) titled Crimes, Creeps and Thrills, published by E. Samuel.

 Colophon Books, Inc. New, used, rare, out-of-print, and UK import titles
Although he is in this respect akin to Edgar Allan Poe's detective, Auguste Dupin, Zaleski is primarily an up-to-the-minute 1890s aesthete, prompting one critic to suggest that he is based on that tragically extravagant poet of death, Count Eric Stenbock.
Prince Zaleski contains the three tales originally collected in John Lane's Keynotes edition, (1893) along with three further stories, one unfinished, which represent later 'collaborations' with the poet, writer and literary researcher John Gawsworth.
Brian Stableford provides an illuminating Introduction to the twilight world of Prince Zaleski, and R.B. Russell's Note explains the genesis of the three stories written with John Gawsworth.
