Novel without Infobox (auto list): many novel articles do not have an infobox - and need one (auto generated list) - may need expansion of article too Our Collaboration Department is continuing with one more title The_History_of_Tom_Jones,_a_Foundling for the current month. Get collaborating on the article and also look at nominating other titles to be considered. The new article Fictional locations now exists - as a companion article to Fictional characters - but it is still a stub and could do with plenty more imput to improve it. Another new article A Taste for Death (P.D. James novel)‎ now exists - but it is also still a stub and could do with plenty more imput to improve it. A new Infobox exists to support the growing number of "Short Story" articles that are tagged as part of the project - take a look at it and comment on it's talk page. I would suggest we use it for "Short Stories and "Novelettes" and leave the main "Book infobox" for "Novels" and "Novellas". New hitlists added to the main worklist. List of literary works with eponymous heroes List of literary works with eponymous heroines Pages that only exist as redirects: Men at Arms changes

This article lacks an infobox, {{Infobox Book}} which is part of the standard display of novel information developed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels and also Wikipedia:WikiProject Books. You can help by copying the "source code" into the attached article, and filling in the information yourself, or by providing the following information here on the Talk page so that someone else can construct the box:
	~title of novel~ ~cover image of novel fair use~ ~image caption to give edition details~ ~author of novel~ ~country of publication~ ~language of original novel~ ~illustrator for novel~ ~cover artist name for novel~ ~novel genre~ ~publisher for novel~ ~dd month yyyy~ Print (~binding~) ~pagecount pp (~binding~ edition)~ ~ISBN ~999999999~ (~hardcover~ edition)~ ~prior book in series if relevant~ ~subsequent book in series if relevant~

Marjorie is Walter Bidlake's wife. He is cheating on her with Lucy Tantamount. Marjorie isn't cheating on anyone. She did divorce someone before the book started. I'm reading the book now and will try to do a bit of a punch up on this. Though because it is a novel of ideas a summary is hard. Squanderdalfast 09:08, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Are you sure? I thought Marjorie's husband didn't divorce her, for religious reasons. - mako 21:43, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

I didn't change it. I just finished it. I am going to look for the point where it says she was married. Yes, you are right. She is married to Carling, (last name.) I'm sorry for the confusion. It is stated on the first page of the book. Squanderdalfast 19:52, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

She didn't divorce her husband because he was being stubborn and wouldn't do it.

[edit] Rare?

I found a copy of this book at an estate sale. It's a first edition, printed in New York by Double Day and Doran Company 1928. Any info on it would be greatly appreciated.

[edit] Roman á clef

I'm going to attempt to update this--with sources--over the weekend. Anyway, my main concern is that this article should reflect the fact that Huxley's characters are all based on real people. Rampion=D.H. Lawrence, Burlap=John Middleton Murry, Lucy Tantamount=Nancy Cunard, etc. Like I said, I'll do it myself, but if you happen upon this and would like to help, my thanks in advance.
