Collins, Wilkie. Basil. Edited by Dorothy Goldman. Oxford University Press, 2008. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/owc/9780199536702.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
In Basil's secret and unconsummated marriage to the linen-draper's sexually precocious daughter, and the shocking betrayal, insanity, and death that follow, Collins reveals the bustling, commercial London of the nineteenth century wreaking its vengeance on a still powerful aristocratic world. Contemporary reviewers vehemently disapproved of this explicit treatment of adultery; and even today the passionate and lurid atmosphere he creates still has the power to disturb the reader.
