Produktinformationen zu „East Lynne (ePub)“

A married aristocratic woman succumbs to desire in this nineteenth-century English novel.

Lady Isabel Vane married for all the wrong reasons-only to one day find her lawyer husband neglecting her for another woman. Seething with jealousy, she leaves behind her husband and their child for the flirtatious Francis Levison. It's a risk she takes willingly, but it comes with a heavy price that will lead her to the depths of despair and a quest for redemption.

A classic page-turner from the "sensation novel" trend in England, East Lynne plays upon the Victorian fears of infidelity, promiscuity, and divorce. A tale of disaster, disguise, and adultery, it continues to surprise readers today.

Autoren-Porträt von Henry Wood

Born Ellen Wood, Mrs. Henry Wood (1814-1887) was an English novelist who specialized in sensation novels. Wood was born with a deforming spinal curvature, and although it lasted throughout her life, it did not affect her studies of literature. In 1836, she married Henry Wood, but when he left the family (for reasons unknown), Wood wrote short stories for numerous periodicals to support her children. She followed this with her first novel, Danesbury House, and later achieved critical acclaim with East Lynne. Wood purchased and ran the controversial periodical Argosy, which she edited until her passing.
