The Cuckoo in the Nest, v. 2/2
Oliphant, Mrs. (Margaret)
Fiction
This story, published anonymously in the _Century_ magazine, aroused the
most lively interest and discussion during its serial course. It has
more than usual attraction from its clever analysis of the latest
tendency in American society, here satirised under the name of
Anglomania.
