Patience Worth: A Dead Writer

Not everyone was convinced of worth's otherworldly origins. critics contended her claim to be from the latter half of the 17th century was somewhat undermined by setting a novel. In Victorian England, some 200 years after she died, her language wasn't consistent with the period either and when people tried to investigate the details she'd given about her life, they found no evidence of anyone matching her description. So do I think Curran was a fraud? No. Do I think Patience Worth was a dead writer using her as a conduit? Yes.
