'The Law and the Lady' is one of the most ingenious and most repulsive of Wilkie Collins's novels, and we doubt, if having begun, that anyone would leave it unfinished. The heroine marries a man and soon discovers that she is his second wife, and that he has been tried in Scotland for the murder of his first, – the jury returning a verdict of" Not proven," which, not establishing his innocence, simply declared that the evidence was not sufficient to convict him. She resolves...

One of them was adopted seventeen years before the story starts because her mother was executed for murdering her husband.

But in translation their poetic quality has been superseded by the narrative content and it is in this form that the work is available to us today. Contents: The Lay...

Inspired by the Greeks and Romans long before her, Marie de France sought to write something not only morally instructive, but memorable, leaving an indelible imprint on the...
