nové vydání klasické anglické četby `This time the fiction is founded upon facts' stated Wilkie Collins in his Preface to Man and Wife
(1870). Many Victorian writers responded to contemporary debates on the
rights and the legal status of women, and here Collins questions the
deeply inequitable marriage laws of his day.
Man and Wife
examines the plight of a woman who, promised marriage by one man, comes
to believe that she may inadvertently have gone through a form of
marriage with his friend, as recognized by the archaic laws of Scotland
and Ireland. From this starting-point Collins develops a radical
critique of the values and
conventions of Victorian society.
Collins had already developed a reputation as the master of the `sensation novel', and Man and Wife is as fast moving and unpredictable as The Moonstone and The Woman in White.
During the novel the atmosphere grows increasingly sinister as the
setting moves from a country house to a London suburb and a world of
confinement, plotting, and murder.
