Wilkie Collins
No Name
eBook
( April 18, 2014)
No Name was published soon after The Woman in White, and was very popular at the time. It has a preposterous convoluted plot about an illegitimate young woman, her father’s favourite, who loses her inheritance after her parents die, and her illegal and deceitful efforts to regain it. She is eventually saved by a man who is twenty-one years older and fell in love with her at first sight a year before. The book contains both hilarious and moving parts, and despite the preposterous plot keeps one reading – if only to find out how it ends.
As in many of his other books Wilkie Collins has used a rather idiosyncratic format, with eight “Scenes” set in different places and containing two to fifteen chapters. There are “Between the Scenes” sections consisting of letters or diary entries which give the characters a place to speak in the first person and express their own perceptions and attitudes.
