Book excerpt: At first glance, a piece of sentimental Victorian melodrama with added social commentary and criticism of the Victorian class system. Not surprising, considering Wilkie Collins close relationship with Charles Dickens. The novel has some modern relevance, as it deals with identity theft. Strong female characters are a Wilkie Collins trait, and of the five main characters, three are strong motivated women, whilst the two men seem a little two dimensional. An enjoyable, if undemanding read for all interested in Victorian fiction. (Robert Hepple)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ♥♥The New Magdalen By Wilkie Collins♥♥ This novel is one of Wilkie Collins later ones set in the 1870s during the Franco-Prussian war. The New Magdalen By Wilkie Collins The tone in which those words were spoken was an insult in itself. Mercy suddenly lifted her head; the angry answer was on her lips. She checked it, and submitted in silence. "I will be worthy of Julian Gray's confidence in me," she thought, as she stood patiently by the chair. "I will bear anything from the woman whom I have wronged." IT was a dark night. The rain was pouring in torrents. ♥♥The New Magdalen By Wilkie Collins♥♥ Late in the evening a skirmishing party of the French and a skirmishing party of the Germans had met, by accident, near the little village of Lagrange, close to the German frontier. In the struggle that followed, the French had (for once) got the better of the enemy. For the time, at least, a few hundreds out of the host of the invaders had been forced back over the frontier. It was a trifling affair, occurring not long after the great German victory of Weissenbourg, and the newspapers took little or no notice of it. ♥♥The New Magdalen By Wilkie Collins♥♥ Captain Arnault, commanding on the French side, sat alone in one of the cottages of the village, inhabited by the miller of the district. The Captain was reading, by the light of a solitary tallow-candle, some intercepted dispatches taken from the Germans. He had suffered the wood fire, scattered over the large open grate, to burn low; the red embers only faintly illuminated a part of the room. On the floor behind him lay some of the miller's empty sacks. In a corner opposite to him was the miller's solid walnut-wood bed. On the walls all around him were the miller's colored prints, representing a happy mixture of devotional and domestic subjects. ♥♥The New Magdalen By Wilkie Collins♥♥ A door of communication leading into the kitchen of the cottage had been torn from its hinges, and used to carry the men wounded in the skirmish from the field. They were now comfortably laid at rest in the kitchen, under the care of the French surgeon and the English nurse attached to the ambulance. A piece of coarse canvas screened the opening between the two rooms in place of the door. A second door, leading from the bed-chamber into the yard, was locked; and the wooden shutter protecting the one window of the room was carefully barred. Sentinels, doubled in number, were placed at all the outposts. The French commander had neglected no precaution which could reasonably insure for himself and for his men a quiet and comfortable night.... ♥♥The New Magdalen By Wilkie Collins♥♥

Book excerpt: The New Magdalen was published in 1873, dedicated to the memory of Charles Allston Collins who died during its composition. One of the most didactic of Wilkie Collins's 'novels with a purpose', treating the then fashionable theme of the 'fallen woman' who attempts to put her past behind her but is repeatedly thwarted by the prejudices of respectable English society. The heroine is not only, conventionally, 'rescued' by a clergyman but, unconventionally, finally married to him.

Download or read book In the Secret Theatre of Home Wilkie Collins Sensation Narrative and Nineteenth Century Psychology written by Jenny Bourne Taylor and published by Victorian Secrets. This book was released on with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his 1852 novel Basil, Wilkie Collins' narrator concludes that "those ghastly heart-tragedies laid open before me ... are not to be written, but ... are acted and reacted, scene by scene, year by year, in the secret theatre of home." Taking this memorable quote as her starting point, Jenny Bourne Taylor demonstrates how Victorian psychology is central to an understanding of the complexity and vitality of Collins' fiction, exploring the boundaries of mind/body, sanity/madness, and consciousness/unconsciousness. Taylor's depth of research and thoughtful analysis establishes the importance of Collins as a writer whose fiction challenges the cultural constructions of the nineteenth century, and proves "the impossibility of drawing a precise boundary between fictional and psychological codes". Going beyond conventional discussion of the sensation genre, here we see the depth and range of Collins' writing and gain an understanding of its relation to Victorian medical thought. The study includes close readings of five novels: Basil (1852), The Woman in White (1859-60), No Name (1862-3), Armadale (1864-66), and The Moonstone (1868). Consideration is also given to Man and Wife (1870), The New Magdalen (1872), The Law and the Lady (1875), Jezebel's Daughter (1879), Heart and Science (1882-3), The Fallen Leaves (1879), and The Legacy of Cain (1889).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The New Magdalen" with the aid of Wilkie Collins is a compelling novel that delves into issues of redemption, social injustice, and the resilience of the human spirit. Collins, a grasp of Victorian sensation fiction, crafts a narrative that challenges societal norms and explores the results of private alternatives. The tale facilities round Mercy Merrick, a woman searching for to get away her past as a fallen girl, or "Magdalen," and start anew. Falsely accused of robbery, she grapples with the tough judgments of society at the same time as seeking to show her innocence. As she navigates a global that frequently denies 2d chances to the ones deemed morally fallen, the radical unfolds as a poignant exploration of morality and forgiveness. Collins employs his trademark narrative technique, combining mystery and social critique, to captivate readers. The characters, which include the sturdy-willed and determined Mercy, confront the hypocrisies of Victorian society and challenge traditional notions of morality. "The New Magdalen" stands as a testomony to Collins' capability to cope with social issues and provide a nuanced portrayal of girls's struggles in a society bound through rigid ethical codes.
