Lady Audley's Secret de Mary Elizabeth Braddon

Lady Audley's Secret

Autor Mary Elizabeth Braddon
en Limba Engleză Paperback
Lady Audley's Secret is a sensation novel by Mary Elizabeth Braddon published in 1862. It was Braddon's most successful and well-known work. The novel has been described as "the most sensationally successful of all the sensation novels." The plot centres on "accidental bigamy" which was in literary fashion in the early 1860s. Braddon's bigamous heroine deserts her child, pushes husband number one down a well, thinks about poisoning husband number two and sets fire to a hotel in which her other male acquaintances are residing. Elements of the novel mirror themes of the real-life Constance Kent murder case of June 1860, which gripped the nation for years. When it was published in book format it allowed Braddon to become financially independent for the rest of her life and still enjoys widespread success and recognition as a true classic today.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Lady Audley's Secret (1862) was one of the most widely read novels in the Victorian period. The novel exemplifies "sensation fiction" in featuring a beautiful criminal heroine, an amateur detective, blackmail, arson, violence, and plenty of suspenseful action. To its contemporary readers, it also offered the thrill of uncovering blackmail and criminal violence within the homes of the upper class. The novel makes trenchant critiques of Victorian gender roles and social stereotypes, and it creates significant sympathy for the heroine, despite her criminal acts, as she suffers from the injustices of the "marriage market" and rebels against them.

This Broadview edition includes a critical introduction and a broad selection of primary source material, including reproductions of the twenty-two woodcut illustrations from the London Journal serialization of the novel, extracts from two Victorian dramatizations of the work, satirical commentaries, and contemporary reviews.
