Charlotte's Inheritance
Da: AHA-BUCH GmbH, Einbeck, Germania
Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Young Charlotte Halliday is the step-daughter of the financier Philip?Sheldon. After the death of her father, much of the Halliday fortune is controlled by Sheldon, who schemes to delay Charlotte's coming of age, influence her inheritance, and in effect make himself the principal beneficiary.Meanwhile, Charlotte falls in love with Valentine?Hawkehurst, a struggling writer, and hopes to marry him when her fortune becomes accessible. But Sheldon's manipulations cast a long shadow: he exerts social and psychological pressure, even resorting to clandestine poisoning to secure his position.As Valentine struggles to build an honest career and Charlotte's health falters under the strain, the novel unfolds into a sensation-style thriller of inheritance, betrayal, illness, and moral struggle. In the end, virtue and perseverance are rewarded, while Sheldon's villainy leads to ruin.About the AuthorMary Elizabeth Braddon (1835-1915) was one of the most successful and influential novelists of the Victorian age, best known for her pioneering work in the sensation novel-a genre that blended mystery, crime, and domestic drama. Born in London, she was raised primarily by her mother after her parents separated, an experience that may have informed her interest in the hidden conflicts and moral ambiguities of family life.Before becoming a writer, Braddon briefly worked as an actress under the name Mary Seyton, but she soon turned to fiction, publishing serialized stories that captured popular taste. Her major success came with Lady Audley's Secret (1862), a sensational tale of deceit, bigamy, and madness that both scandalized and fascinated Victorian readers. The novel's complex portrayal of a woman defying social expectations helped establish Braddon as a major literary figure and defined the era's fascination with crime and female transgression.Throughout her career, Braddon remained remarkably prolific, producing more than eighty novels. Among her best-known works are Aurora Floyd (1863), John Marchmont's Legacy (1863), and The Doctor's Wife (1864). Her fiction often explored the limitations placed on women and the instability beneath the surface of respectable domestic life. In addition to writing, Braddon founded and edited Belgravia magazine, which published fiction, essays, and poetry, and helped shape the literary culture of her time.Her personal life was unconventional: she lived with the publisher John Maxwell for many years and married him after his first wife's death in 1874. Despite social criticism, she managed to balance a large family with an extraordinarily productive writing career.Mary Elizabeth Braddon died in Richmond, Surrey, in 1915. Today, she is recognized as a defining voice of Victorian popular fiction, whose vivid plots and daring heroines continue to influence modern interpretations of gender, identity, and morality in literature.
