The Last Warner Woman features compelling settings, masterful story-tellers, a mystery, colorful characters, and language that resonates with beauty. The novel can also be read as an unobtrusive treatise on storytelling that invites comparisons between Western ways of knowing the world and traditional ways of understanding the world. It is presented not as a contest, but rather a statement of how we see individually and collectively.

The Sweet Silvery Sayings of Shakespeare on the Softer Sex (an anthology of passages from Shakespeare)
The anonymous 'Old Soldier' who compiled this anthology of passages from Shakespeare, published in 1877, states in the preface that he was inspired to make his selection by a passage in The Gentle Life: Essays in Aid of the Formation of Character, by the now largely forgotten Victorian essayist James Hain Friswell: 'If a man wanted to make a sugar-sweet book ... let him go through the plays of the great national Poet, and make an extract of those passages wherein he has exalted woman.' In thirty-three sections (four plays are omitted), extensive quotations present examples of 'exalted woman'.
