Book Synopsis Dead Secrets by : Tamar Heller
Book excerpt: Readers have long been enthralled by the novels of Wilkie Collins, whose The Moonstone is considered the first modern detective novel, This book by Tamar Heller places Collins within Victorian literary history, showing how his fiction transforms the conventions of the traditionally female genre of the Gothic novel and can be read as a critique of the gender and class distinctions that structured Victorian society.
