Carlos Hullingham is a handsome devil: physically perfect but morally bankrupt. He is society's darling, 'but behind the sensuous charm of exterior there lurks the spirit of a fiend, ruthless in its cruelty and malice.' His first wife, Adelaide Hullingham, is dead... done to death... and now his second wife is proving troublesome. Originally published in 1897, 'The Master of Hullingham Manor' is a tale of wickedness, murder and revenge. With a cruel aristocrat, an imprisoned wife, a devious asylum owner, a fair bit of adultery, a vaulted room and a 'Phantom Recital' to boot, it is everything you'd expect from a 'shilling shocker'.In the introductory essay to this new edition, Gina R. Collia reveals the true identity of Bernard Wentworth and paints a full and vivid picture of the authoress's extremely troubled life.

Hamilton's famous defence of the Aesthetic Movement was first published in 1882. The contents were later updated and expanded for the third edition, of which this current edition is a reprint. A superb source of information regarding the reactions of contemporaries to Aesthetic poetry and the Pre-Raphaelite School of painting, this highly enjoyable and frequently amusing volume contains sections on Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Morris, John Ruskin, Algernon Charles Swinburne, Oscar Wilde, The Grosvenor Gallery, and the Bedford Park Estate. This edition has been newly typeset and formatted to ensure high-quality content and perfect readability; it is not a poor facsimile copy and was not produced using OCR software.
