Meghan Racklin Wrote About Fanny Howe’s Pseudonymous Romance Novels

by | October 31, 2025

For The New Republic, Meghan Racklin wrote about “Fanny Howe’s first two novels—a pair of romances about nurses, published pseudonymously.” 

Racklin told Study Hall about her process: “The first is out-of-print, and I eventually tracked it down on eBay; the second has been digitally republished by a small republisher of nurse-themed romance novels. I read the books through the lens of Howe’s later work.” 

Racklin’s writing has appeared in Lux, Los Angeles Review of Books, and LitHub.
