A Perilous Secret
Author: Charles Reade
Publisher: IndyPublish.com
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 456
Book Description
The young man had his coat off by which you might infer it was very hot; but no it was a keen October day and an east wind sweeping down the river. The coat was wrapped tightly round the little girl so that only her fair face with blue eyes and golden hair peeped out; and the young father sat in his shirt sleeves looking down on her with a loving but anxious look.

Victorian Sensational Fiction
Author: Richard Fantina
Publisher: Palgrave MacMillan
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
Sensation fiction emerged in the 1860s, and immediately generated alarm as many critics viewed the genre as a threat to prevailing Victorian values. Charles Reade, along with Wilkie Collins and Mary Elizabeth Braddon, was among the most well-known sensation novelists. With its explicit critique of power relations in the fields of medicine, criminal justice, and sexual mores, Reade’s work anticipates Michel Foucault’s theories elaborated a century later. Reade’s work also provides rare glimpses of alternative sexualities and gender identities in nineteenth-century fiction. This book recovers the fiction of Charles Reade as a body of work that anticipates recent trends in literary and cultural theory.

When the Surprise is nearly sunk on her way to South America—where Aubrey and Stephen Maturin are to help Chile assert her independence from Spain—the delay occasioned by repairs reaps a harvest of strange consequences.
