D. K. Broster vs E. W. Hornung: a prose comparison

D. K. Broster and E. W. Hornung have a lot in common: both authors of romantic adventure stories writing around the early twentieth century, both got their start publishing short stories and poetry in magazines before writing novels and story collections, both provide lots of fuel for slash fanfiction—and, of course, they're both my faves. So, having done some meta looking at the details of language in the prose of both authors, I thought I'd continue the series with a comparison between them.

This post uses the texts of the Raffles books (The Amateur Cracksman, The Black Mask, A Thief in the Night and Mr Justice Raffles) by E. W. Hornung and The Flight of the Heron by D. K. Broster.
