Lady Audley’s Secret was published in 1862 and was Mary Elizabeth Braddon's most successful novel. It has been called "the most sensationally successful of all the sensation novels". The success of book, along with Braddon's other bestseller, ‘Aurora Floyd,’ established her as the main rival of the master of the sensational novel, Wilkie Collins. A protest against the passive, insipid 19th-century heroine, ‘Lady Audley’ was described by one critic of the time as "high-strung, full of passion, purpose, and movement." Her crime (the secret of the title) is shown to threaten the apparently respectable middle-class world of Victorian England. The story centres on "accidental bigamy" which was in literary fashion in the early 1860s. The plot was summarised by literary critic Elaine Showalter (1982): "Braddon's bigamous heroine deserts her child, pushes husband number one down a well, thinks about poisoning husband number two and sets fire to a hotel in which her other male acquaintances are residing". Elements of the novel mirror themes of the real-life Constance Kent case of June 1860 which gripped the nation for years. The follow-up novel, ‘Aurora Floyd,’ appeared in 1863. There have been three silent film adaptations, one UK television version in 2000, and three minor stage adaptations.

"One of the novels of recent date which should not be overlooked by those who are desirous of something really new in fiction, is 'Elizabeth Schuyler: A Story of Old New York,' ... Miss Springer has already won a considerable literary reputation by her historical novel 'Lady Hancock.'" —Leslie's Illustrated Weekly Newspaper, 1904In 1900 Mary Elizabeth Springer (1850-1937) published her historical novel "Schuyler." Miss Springer was the secretary of the New York chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and accomplished author of historical novels concerning women of the American Revolution.Elizabeth Hamilton (1757 – 1854), sometimes called "Eliza" or "Betsey," was the wife of American founding father Alexander Hamilton.In early 1780, Elizabeth went to stay with her aunt, Gertrude Schuyler Cochran, in Morristown, New Jersey. There she met Alexander Hamilton, one of General George Washington's aides-de-camp, who was stationed along with the General and his men in Morristown for the winter. (In fact, they had met previously, if briefly, two years before, when Hamilton dined with the Schuylers on his way back from a negotiation on Washington's behalf.[9]) Also while in Morristown, Eliza met and became friends with Martha Washington, a friendship they would maintain throughout their husbands' political careers. Eliza later said of Mrs. Washington, "She was always my ideal of a true woman."The relationship between Eliza and Alexander quickly grew, even after he left Morristown, only a month after Eliza had arrived. By early April they were officially engaged, with her father's blessing (something of an anomaly for the Schuyler girls—both Angelica and Peggy would end up eloping). Later that year, Eliza had learned that Major John André, head of the British Secret Service, had been captured in a foiled plot concocted by General Benedict Arnold to surrender the fort of West Point to the British. André had once been a houseguest in the Schuyler Mansion in Albany as a prisoner of war on route to Pennsylvania in 1775; Eliza had been smitten with the young British officer who had once sketched for her. Hamilton, while jealous of André for his "accomplishments," promised Eliza he would do what he could to treat the British intelligence chief accordingly but to no avail. Eliza did not respond to Hamilton's letters for weeks after André's hanging. Then, on December 14, 1780, Alexander Hamilton and Elizabeth Schuyler were married at the Schuyler Mansion.In Elizabeth Schuyler: A Story of Old New York, Springer has written a pleasing narrative of the trials and triumphs of the Young Republic, woven around the engaging personality of Elizabeth Schuyler. Characters included in this historical novel among others are Major Tallmadge, Nathan Hale, Major Andre, Peggy Shippen, and Benedict Arnold. Those fans of the TV Series, Turn: Washington's Spies will likely enjoy the realistic portrayal of these characters by Springer. According to Leslie's Illustrated Weekly the author was related to Lady Hancock: "Miss Springer is of true Revolutionary ancestry, one of her progenitors being Dorothy Quincy, the heroine of 'Lady Hancock.'” About the author: Miss Springer's paternal as well as her maternal ancestors were among the early settlers of New England, and in her veins flows the blood of the Aldens, Quincys and Jacksons—illustrious names in the history of their country. Her father, Joseph Torslir Springer, was a descendant of a Swedish nobleman, who came over in 1645 and settled in Delaware, where a Swedish colony existed at that time, and several of Miss Springer's paternal ancestors shed their blood in the cause of liberty during the war of the American Revolution.Springer's other well received historical novels of the American Revolution include:1. "Lady Hancock": A Story of the American Revolution 2. Dolly Madison: A Story of the War of 1812

A hugely popular novel described as "the most sensationally successful of all the sensation novels", Braddon's complex and intriguing story revolves around the theme of accidental bigamy. The plot was recently summarized as: "Braddon's bigamous heroine deserts her child, pushes husband number one down a well, thinks about poisoning husband number two and sets fire to a hotel in which her other male acquaintances are residing." The runaway success of her best seller allowed Braddon to be financially independent for the rest of her life. Just as accessible and enjoyable for today's modern readers as it would have been when first published over 100 years ago, the novel is one of the great works of English literature and continues to be widely read throughout the world.This meticulous digital edition from Heritage Illustrated Publishing is a faithful reproduction of the original text and is beautifully illustrated with a number of atmospheric historical paintings that reflect the mood of the novel.

Mary Elizabeth’s story begins at the kitchen table where she loves to have tea parties. As she pours from a fragile china pot, she listens to her mother tell cherished tales about her Grandma Mary Rose who was known for making the flakiest pie crust in all of Jersey City, using her red-handled wooden rolling pin. Through stories of her grandmother’s knack for baking, Mary recognizes a strong connection through her own childhood concoctions that include Irish shortbread. After Mary matures, marries, and has children of her own, she recognizes the lure of the kitchen and its importance in family relationships that span four generations as she gently guides her daughter’s hands that hold the worn red handles of her grandmother’s rolling pin. Our Red-Handled Rolling Pin shares a poignant story for children, that reflects on heartfelt memories and a grandmother’s love of baking to encourage little ones to carry on family traditions in the kitchen.
