2nded
Out of some personal journals. I forgot the posthumously part, so thanks for the reminderDickinson, as in Emily?
Just for the record, Miss Emily died at age 55, which may seem young by our standards, but was in fact a fairly ripe old age in the late 1800s. Also, most of her poetry was published after her passing.
. I just meant writers who barley scratched, or got to scratch, his or her talent. Harper Lee would be a much better illustration of what I was trying to say.

I haven't read either, but I've looked them up and I am not sure we are talking about novels whose parts can't be read separately. The HG trilogy may qualify, but Narnia seems a series of separate novels.
