AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The idea of the story is highly original, peeping as it does into the future when possibly a Lady Governor and Lady Legislators may rule the land. The criminal sessions at Melbourne is presided over her Honor the Chief Justice, while a lady QC prosecutes and a Miss Purves defends "The Lady Bushranger, Faith Parker." From first to last the story teems with thrilling incidents, and now that Miss Finkelstein's story is being dramatised for the stage the books are selling like the proverbial wildfire.'

It traces the passage of the most popular novel of the nineteenth century, Lady Audley's Secret, from England to Melbourne's port and through the cultural byways of Melbourne out through the suburbs, and into Australian literature.' -- Back cover.
