The New Magdalen - Paperback
Description
by Wilkie Collins (Author)
The New Magdalen confronts Victorian society's harsh judgment of women as Mercy Merrick, a reformed "fallen woman," seizes a chance at respectability by taking on another's identity. Her deception leads her into the heart of domestic life, where love, guilt, and moral reckoning collide. As secrets surface and truths unravel, Mercy must fight for the dignity and forgiveness the world denies her. With its bold critique of gender double standards and its emotionally charged narrative, the novel blends sensational storytelling with a plea for compassion and reform. Collins challenges readers to reconsider justice-not as law, but as humanity.
William Wilkie Collins (1824-1889) was an English novelist and playwright, best known for The Woman in White and The Moonstone. The New Magdalen is one of Collin's "novels with a purpose, treating the then fashionable theme of the 'fallen woman' who attempts to put her past behind her but is repeatedly thwarted by the prejudices of respectable English society.
