Incidentally, she has the distinction of being the second English-language author to write a series of novels sharing a setting but focusing on different characters: ''The Chronicles of Carlingford'' (1861–1876). (The first author to do this was Creator/AnthonyTrollope with ''Literature/TheChroniclesOfBarsetshire''.)
