Popis produktu

eBook: Murder, mystery, mistaken identity, madness, bigamy, adultery: These were the special ingredients that made the sensation novel so delectable to the Victorian palate. Readers who devoured Lady Audley\'s Secret were thrilled and frightened by its inversion of the ideal Victorian heroine. Lady Audley looks like the angel-in-the-house ideal of Victorian womanhood-she is blonde, fragile, and childlike-but her behavior is distinctly villainous. At a time when Victorian women were beginning to rebel against their limited roles as wives and mothers, novels such as Lady Audley\'s Secret spoke to their secret longings and fantasies.Genteel women readers, slaving away as governesses in other people\'s families, could share the fantasy of poor Lucy, suddenly made a lady by her marriage to Sir Michael. Part detective story, part domestic drama, Lady Audley\'s Secret became a runaway bestseller of its era. Nearly a century and a half since it was first published, Lady Audley\'s Secret has lost none of its ability to disturb and captivate readers.
