So far as it goes, Goddesses Three is an absorbing study of the
Pontifex family, and (ultimately) of Anglo-Portuguese relations.
E.W. Hornung apparently began writing this book in 1894 but put it
aside after completing eleven chapters. Set primarily in an English
Rectory, it is very much a work in progress, written partly in
pencil and partly in ink, and incorporating a vast number of
revisions. In addition to deciphering 99% of the manuscript, and
producing an edited text for the general reader, the editor has
examined it on a chapter-by-chapter basis. This results in a fuller
notion of how the story was being shaped and the occasional
problems encountered - and pinpoints Hornung's consequent changes
and instructions to himself. We are, as it were, looking over his
shoulder for the whole time, and gain (as a result) a fascinating
insight into how a Victorian novel took shape.
