Armadale (Oxford World's Classics)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The third of Wilkie Collins' four great novels of the 1860's, Armadale deals with the emergence of the autonomous, sexually active woman from the dichotomies of Madonna and Magdalene. Above all, it explores the divided self and the need to acknowledge the darker side of the personality.
Download Description
Can a dream foretell the future? That is one of the central questions of Armadale, one of Wilkie Collins' lesser-known novels. But even though it is not as famous as The Woman in White or The Moonstone, it is still written with the psychological awareness and piercing character studies of the best of Collins' work.
