Elizabeth Braddon Books Overview

Three Times Dead

Mary Elizabeth Braddon 1837 1915, Victorian England’s bestselling woman writer, blends Dickensian humor with chilling suspense in this exuberantly campy Kirkus Reviews mystery. The novel features Jabez North, a manipulative orphan who becomes a ruthless killer; Valerie de Cevennes, a stunning heiress who falls into North s diabolical trap; and Mr. Peters, a mute detective who communicates his brilliant reasoning through sign language. This edition includes a critical Afterword and endnotes by Victorian scholar Dr. Chris Willis.

Lady Audley’s Secret

When beautiful young Lucy Graham accepts the hand of Sir Michael Audley, her fortune and her future look secure. But Lady Audley’s past is shrouded in mystery, and Sir Michael’s nephew Robert has vague forebodings. When Robert’s good friend George Talboys suddenly disappears, he is determined to find him, and to unearth the truth. His quest reveals a tangled story of lies and deception, crime and intrigue, whose sensational twists turn the conventional picture of Victorian womanhood on its head. Can Robert’s darkest suspicions really be true? A publishing sensation in its day, Lady Audley’s Secret is a thrilling novel of deception and villainy in which the golden haired hero*ine is not at all what she seems. But it is not just a pot boiler. Indeed, Mary Elizabeth Braddon’s terrific plot touches on many contemporary social concerns, including class, madness, and the separate roles of men and women. Lyn Pykett’s introduction illuminates Braddon’s fascinating tale of bigamy, murder, impersonation, and blackmail in the context of the nineteenth century sensation novel and Braddon’s immensely successful career. Throughout the book, thorough notes elucidate literary and historical allusions and shed light on the social mores of the day. In addition, the book includes an up to date bibliography and a full chronology of Braddon’s life and work. Lady Audley’s Secret was an immediate bestseller, and readers have enjoyed its thrilling plot ever since its first publication in 1862. This marvelous new edition introduces Braddon’s portrait of her scheming hero*ine to a new generation of readers.

Aurora Floyd

With Lady Audley’s Secret, Mary Elizabeth Braddon had established herself, alongside Wilkie Collins and Mrs Henry Wood, as one of the ruling triumvirate of sensation novelists’. Aurora Floyd 1862 3, following hot on its heels, achieved almost equal popularity and notoriety. Like Lady Audley, Aurora is a beautiful young woman bigamously married and threatened with exposure by a blackmailer. But in Aurora Floyd, and in many of the novels written in imitation of it, bigamy is little more than a euphemism, a device to enable the hero*ine, and vicariously the reader, to enjoy the forbidden sweets of adultery without adulterous intentions. Passionate, sometimes violent, Aurora does succeed in enjoying them, her desires scarcely chastened by her disastrous first marriage. She represents a challenge to the mid Victorian sexual code, and particularly to the feminine ideal of simpering, angelic young ladyhood. P. D. Edward’s introduction evaluates the novel’s leading place among bigamy novels’ and Braddon’s treatment of the power struggle between the sexes, as well as considering the similarities between the author and her hero*ine. About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World’s Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford’s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up to date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

The Doctor’s Wife

With The Doctor’s Wife, Mary Elizabeth Braddon rewrote Flaubert’s Madame Bovary, exploring the hero*ine’s sense of entrapment and alienation in middle class provincial life. A woman with a secret, adultery, death, and the spectacle of female recrimination and suffering are the elements which combine to make The Doctor’s Wife a classic women’s sensation novel. The novel is also self consciously literary, however, and Braddon attempts to transcend the sensation genre. This volume, which reproduces uncut the first three volume edition of 1864, is the only edition of the novel available today.

Henry Dunbar

Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www. million books. com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: CHAPTER III. NEW HOPES MAY BLOOM. Jocelyx’s Rock was ten miles from Maudesley Abbey, and only one mile from the town of Shorn cliffe. It was a noble place, and had been in the possession of the same family ever since the days of the Plantagenets. The house stood upon a rocky cliff, beneath which rushed a cascade that leapt from crag to crag, and fell into the bosom of a deep stream, that formed an arm of the river Avon. This cascade was forty feet below the edge of the cliff upon which the mansion stood. It was not a very large house; for most of the older part of it had fallen into ruin long ago, and the ruined towers and shattered walls had been cleared away: but it was a noble mansion notwithstanding. chapter Section 4One octagonal tower, with a battlemented roof, still stood almost as firmly as it had stood in the days of the early Plantagenets, when rebel soldiers had tried the strength of their battering rams against the grim stone walls. The house was built entirely of stone; the Gothic porch was ponderous as the porch of a church. Within all was splendour ; but splendour that was very different from the modern elegance that was to be seen in the rooms of Maudesley Abbey. At Jocelyn’s Rock the stamp of age was upon every decoration, on every ornament. Square topped helmets that had been hacked by the scimitars of Saracen kings, spiked chamfronts that had been worn by the fiery barbs of haughty English crusaders, fluted armour from Milan, hung against the blackened wainscoting in the shadowy hall; Scottish hackbuts, primitive arquebuses that had done service on Bosworth field, Homeric bucklers and brazen greaves, javelins, crossbows, steel pointed lances, and two handed swords, were in symmetrical design upon the dark and polished panels; while here and…

John Marchmont’s Legacy

‘I am simply steeped in Miss Braddon.’ Alfred Lord Tennyson Tennyson was not the only Victorian reader to be captivated by Mary Elizabeth Braddon’s fiction. While still in her mid twenties, Braddon scored two remarkable hits with the sensational Lady Audley’s Secret and Aurora Floyd. In John Marchmont’s Legacy, Braddon offers a plot charged with drama and mystery, its eerie atmosphere and, above all, the depiction of an extraordinary woman. In remote Lincolnshire, fenny, misty, and flat always’, Olivia Arundel can find no outlet for either her intellectual abilities or her fierce passions, but is compelled to look on as the man she loves has thoughts only for a woman whose gifts are vastly inferior to her own. Braddon once declared that Wilkie Collins, the master of the sensation novel’, was assuredly my literary father’; she herself has the same skill in weaving a story of mystery, conspiracy, menace and violence, while the energy and vivacity of her narrative are all her own. Expertly edited with an introduction by Norman Page and Toru Sasaki, this is the only edition available of this work that deserves its place alongside Braddon’s great works.

Birds of Prey

Mary Elizabeth Braddon 1835 1915 was a British Victorian era popular novelist. She was an extremely prolific writer, producing some 75 novels with very inventive plots. The most famous one is her first novel, Lady Audley’s Secret 1862, which won her recognition and fortune as well. The novel has been in print ever since, and has been dramatised and filmed several times. She also founded Belgravia Magazine 1866, which presented readers with serialized sensation novels, poems, travel narratives, and biographies, as well as essays on fashion, history, science. The magazine was accompanied by lavish illustrations and offered readers a source of literature at an affordable cost. She also edited Temple Bar Magazine. Her legacy is tied to the Sensation Fiction of the 1860s. Her other works include: The Octoroon 1861, The Black Band 1861, Aurora Floyd 1863, Eleanor’s Victory 1863, Henry Dunbar: A Novel 1864, The Doctor’s Wife 1864, Birds of Prey 1867, Charlotte’s Inheritance 1868, Fenton’s Quest 1871, Milly Darrell and Other Tales 1873, The Golden Calf 1883, Phantom Fortune 1883 and London Pride 1896.

Charlotte’s Inheritance

Mary Elizabeth Braddon was a popular Victorian British novelist best known for her novel Lady Audry’s Secret. She was a prolific novelist producing over 75 novels. She founded Belgravia Magazine in1866, which included serialized sensation novels, poems, travel narratives, and biographies, as well as essays on fashion, history, and science. Charlotte’s Inheritance is the sequel to Bird’s of Prey. Valentine is a young man who has agreed to a long engagement to the young and innocent Charlotte, the stepdaughter of an evil stock market speculator.

Phantom Fortune

It was known that I was of East Indian birth, but little more was known about me. It was only when years had gone by and I was a merchant on my own account and could afford to go to India on a voyage of discovery yes, as much a voyage of discovery as that of Vasco de Gama or of Drake that I got from the Madras agent the clue which enabled me, at the cost of infinite patience and infinite labour, to unravel the mystery of my birth. There is no need to enter now upon the details of that story. I have overwhelming documentary evidence a cloud of witnesses to convince the most sceptical as to who and what I am.

Wyllard’s Weird

A village in Cornwall is thrown into turmoil after a young girl falls from a train to her death. Was this an accident? Or murder? The mystery deepens when clues link the girl to a double homicide committed ten years earlier. Braddon’s sensational novel takes us to the estates of aristocrats, the haunts of tabloid writers, the homes of Bohemian artists, and the dark alleyways of Paris. Braddon, one of Victorian England’s best selling novelists, is at the height of her powers in Wyllard’s Weird. The novel shakes the foundations of 19th century social order as it questions the sanctity of marriage and exposes the vices hidden beneath masks of gentility. First published in 1885, Wyllard’s Weird has been for too long either out of print or available only in expensive facsimile editions. The novel holds an important place in literary history as it forecasts the appearance of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in 1886 and Sherlock Holmes in 1887.

Excerpt from book: CHAPTER III. ‘THE TIME OF LOVERS IS BRIEF.’ When a man is sole master of his estate and thoroughly independent of his kindred, his choice of a wife, if not altogether outrageous and unpardonable, must needs be submissively accepted by his belongings. Vansittart lost not an hour in telling his sister and her husband that henceforth they must look upon Eve Marchant as a very close connection. ‘ We shall be married at midsummer,’ he said, ‘ so you may as well begin to think of her as a sister in law.’ Sir Hubert, who was the very essence of good nature, received the announcement with unalloyed cordiality. ‘ She is a bright, frank girl, very pretty, very winning, and very intelligent,’ he said. ‘ I congratulate you, Jack though naturally one would have wished ‘ ‘ That she were the daughter of a duke, or that she had half a million of money,’ interjected Vansittart. ‘I understand you. It is a bad match from a worldly point of view. I, who have between three and four thousand a year, should have stood out for other three or four thousand with a wife, and thus solidified my income. I ought at least to have tried America; seen if the heiress market there would have supplied the proper article. Well, you see, Hubert, I am of too impatient a temper for that kind of thing. I have found the woman I can love with all my heart and mind, and I have lost no time in winning her.’ ‘You are a paladin, Jack a troubadour all that there is of the most romantic and chivalrous,’ laughed Sir Hubert. ‘ She is a dear, dear girl,’ sighed Maud, ‘and I could hardly be fonder of her if she were my sister but it certainly is the most disappointing choice you could have made.’ ‘ Is it ? Why, I might have chosen a barmaid’ ‘ Not you. You are not that kind of man. But except a barmaid…

Thou Art the Man

Ten years ago, a shocking murder cut short a blossoming romance between beautiful young heiress Sibyl Higginson and her cousin Brandon Mountford. When Mountford, an epileptic subject to seizures and memory loss, awakened near a bloody corpse, he was forced to escape to avoid execution for the crime. The years passed, nothing was heard of Mountford, and it was supposed he had either died or fled the country.

A decade later, Sibyl, now Lady Penrith, is travelling along a desolate moor when a crazed man stops her carriage and hands her a scrawled note. Believing the note to be from Mountford, Sibyl sets out to investigate, and with the help of her niece Coralie Urquhart she will uncover the long hidden truth behind the murder and the horrible fate of Brandon Mountford!

Thou Art the Man 1894 is a thrilling and fast paced novel of murder and mystery. It is also, as Laurence Talairach Vielmas discusses in her introduction to this edition, a fascinating look at the ways Braddon adapted late Victorian theories of heredity, disease, and criminology into her fiction. This edition reprints the unabridged text of the 1895 ‘yellowback’ edition, complete with a facsimile of its cover, and includes a new introduction and explanatory notes.

London Pride

Could she go back to such a life as that? Go back! Leave all she loved? At the mere suggestion her trembling hand was stretched out involuntarily to clasp her niece Henriette, kneeling beside her. Leave them leave those with whom and for whom she lived? Leave this loving child her sister her brother? Fareham had told her to call him ‘Brother.’ He had been to her as a brother, with all a brother’s kindness, counselling her, confiding in her.

At Chrighton Abbey and Other Horror Stories

MARY ELIZABETH BRADDON 1835 1915 was one of the most prolific and popular authors of her day. She was responsible for no less than 80 novels, 9 plays, and dozens perhaps hundreds of short stories and articles, many of which were published pseudonymously in cheap and sensational magazine. Today Mary Elizabeth Braddon is remembered among fans of weird fiction for her classic horror and ghost stories, the most famous of which are collected herein. ‘At Chrighton Abbey’ is a Christmas ghost story; ‘The Cold Embrace: is the story of a proud art student pursued by the ghost of a lover he scorned; ‘The Shadow in the Corner: uses rationalism to try to explain away a ghostly presence, with no success; ‘Good Lady Ducayne’ is Braddon’s updated reworking of the vampire myth, using Victorian era medical knowledge instead of the supernatural and it is all the more chilling because of its pluasibility; and ‘Eveline’s Visitant’ is the tale of two cousins who fight to the death over a woman and the loser vows to haunt the one who killed him in his moment of greatest happiness. This volume is an excellent introduction to the fantastic works of Mary Elizabeth Braddon and a welcome addition to the Wildside Fantasy Classics line.
