Aurora Floyd is one of the leading novels in the genre known as \u2018sensation fiction\u2019\u2014a tradition in which the key texts include Wilkie Collins\u2019s The Woman in White, Ellen Wood\u2019s East Lynne, and Dickens\u2019s Great Expectations. When Aurora Floyd was first published in serial form in 1862-63, Fraser\u2019s magazine asserted that \u201Ca book without a murder, a divorce, a seduction, or a bigamy, is not apparently considered either worth writing or reading; and a mystery and a secret are the chief qualifications of the modern novel.\u201D\nThe novel depicts a heroine trapped in an abusive and adulterous marriage, and effectively dramatizes the extra-legal pressures which kept many such unhappy marriages out of the courts: fear of personal scandal, and of betraying one\u2019s family through the publicity and expense\n\nAurora Floyd\n\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail tracked services.\n\nPl;
