Abstract

Published in three volumes in 1861, East Lynne by Ellen (Mrs Henry) Wood became one of the best-selling novels of the nineteenth century. Melodramatic and sentimental, it had cross-class appeal, and its fame was bolstered by the numerous stage adaptations made of it: the role of its heroine Isabel Vane becoming (like Nancy in Oliver Twist) a favorite part of the repertoire for actresses.
