Description
Wilkie Collins' novel, The Queen of Hearts, is a canonical example of the Victorian Gothic genre. It is an exploration of the duality of femininity and the power dynamics between men and women in 19th century Britain. Through its use of suspenseful plot points and innovative narrative techniques, Collins examines themes such as family loyalty and betrayal, class boundaries, and psychological manipulation.
