`Isabel Gilbert was not a woman of the world. She had read novels
while other people perused the Sunday papers...she believed in a
phantasmal world created out of the pages of poets and romancers.'
The Doctor's Wife is Mary Elizabeth Braddon's rewriting of
Flaubert's Madame Bovary in which she explores her heroine's sense
of entrapment and alienation in middle-class provincial life
married to a good natured but bovine husband who seems incapable of
understanding his wife's imaginative life and feelings. A woman
with a secret, adultery, death and the spectacle of female
recrimination and suffering are the elements which combine to make
The Doctor's Wife a classic women's sensation novel. Yet, The
Doctor's Wife is also a self-consciously literary novel, in which
Braddon attempts to transcend the sensation genre. This is the only
edition of a fascinating and engrossing work, and reproduces uncut
the first three-volume edition of 1864. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over
100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest
range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume
reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most
accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including
expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to
clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and
much more.
