Sinopsis

First published serially in 1861, Mary Elizabeth Braddon&rsquo,s &ldquo,Lady Audley',s Secret&rdquo, is the wildly successful Victorian-era sensation novel. Sensation novels were very popular in English literature in the 1860s and 1870s. The novels were a combination of realism and romance and were usually tales of terrible crimes, such as murder, kidnapping, bigamy, adultery, and theft, occurring in otherwise normal, tranquil domestic settings. &ldquo,Lady Audley&rsquo,s Secret&rdquo, was one of the most popular novels of the genre and revolves around Robert Audley, a man determined to find out the cause of his friend&rsquo,s, George Talboys, disappearance. At the center of the mystery is Robert&rsquo,s uncle&rsquo,s wife, Lucy Audley, the Lady Audley of the novel&rsquo,s title and who Robert suspects of keeping secrets. With George&rsquo,s young son in questionable safety and lies, deception, and treachery surrounding him, Robert must uncover all that Lady Audley has hidden about her past while finding himself in increasing danger. A bestseller in Victorian England despite its scandalously immoral content, &ldquo,Lady Audley&rsquo,s Secret&rdquo, addresses the domestic anxieties and gender and class conflicts of the era while at the same time featuring a remarkable and complex female character. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
