Recent discoveries of Hopkins’s unattributed use of more than forty texts in her serialized novels have raised many questions for future inquiry. Extensive intertextuality in Hopkins’s work has been addressed by many critics; however, this new knowledge requires us to think further about the nature and significance of her extensive textual appropriations. To encourage and support this research, the Pauline Elizabeth Hopkins Society offers the following documents that list the sources of the unattributed material found thus far in Hopkins’s serialized fiction, along with the location of those sources in the novels.
