Wolff in Nineteenth Century fiction describes her books as "trashy .. . but they remain interesting as an extraordinary index to extraordinary public taste." and he goes on to quote Henry Miller in 1976 who said her work was "always fascinating and gripping" and Rebecca West in 1928 writing "she had an incurably commonplace mind" but also a "wild lust for beauty" and "demonic vitality."
