 Finding aid to the J. M. Dent & Sons Records, Mss. Dept., UNC-Chapel Hill
Finally, correspondence that cannot be attributed to an author has been placed at the end of the subseries as "Correspondent Unknown." Although many letters were removed before the J. Dent records were acquired by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, some scattered "famous author" material remains in Subseries 1.1.
Researchers should also note that letters of significant commercial value (e.g., correspondence with Joseph Conrad, Dylan Thomas, and Virginia Woolf) were removed and sold before the records were acquired by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
The individual author files are followed by "Other Authors," an alphabetical arrangement of correspondence with individuals represented by less than five pieces of correspondence each.

 Portraits of Beatrice
Beatrice's lawyer, the eminent Prospero Farinaccio, was later to argue unsuccessfully, on the basis of inconclusive and conflicting testimony of two maids, that the principal murder motive was an incestuous attack by Francesco upon Beatrice.
Beatrice is idealized in the extreme; she is a militant saint who, while defending her brothers and her honor, continually exhorts her father to repentance.
In Shelley's version, Beatrice and her co-conspirators are selfishly urged on by the young priest Orsino (the poet's name for the historical Monsignore Guerra) in the hope that the murder will put Beatrice and the family fortune in his power.

 The Cenci, Alexandre Dumas
Beatrice awaited them at a window which looked on to a secluded courtyard; she gave them letters which she had written to her brother and to Monsignor Guerra.
Beatrice was then lowered and untied; a barber reduced the dislocation of her arms in the usual manner; the examination was read over to her, and, as she had promised, she made a full confession.
Beatrice, above all, displayed the greatest assurance, demanding to be the first to be confronted with Marzio; whose mendacity she affirmed with such calm dignity, that he, more than ever smitten by her beauty, determined, since he could not live for her, to save her by his death.

Beatrice overcame her isolation from her peers when she was working from home by attending and giving lectures all over the world, as well as writing many letters and making phone calls.
Beatrice talks of the interactions "lots of useful conversations with people whose names are familiar from their research papers"." Also, which is important to me in my relative isolation from astronomers, a number of people were very generous with pre-publication copies of exciting new data."
