Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Dead Secrets: Wilkie Collins and the Female Gothic (Hardcover)

I found this text indispensable for my studies on Wilkie Collins and sensation fiction. Heller's chapter on the French Revolution creates a particularly engaging backdrop for the rest of the text's critical investigation of Collins's works. Beautifully written and highly recommended!
