Arthur Conan Doyles Roman
The Lost World nennt Gladys, die Freundin des jungen Journalisten Edward Dunn Malone, Burton als Idealtyp eines (ihr genehmen Ehe-)Mannes: (…) above all, he must be a man who could do, who could act, who could look Death in the face and have no fear of him, a man of great deeds and strange experiences. It is never a man that I should love, but always the glories he had won; for they would be reflected upon me. Think of Richard Burton!.
