Description

The Dead Alive by Wilkie Collins A gripping novella from 1874, this work by British writer Wilkie Collins tells the story of two brothers wrongly sentenced to death for a murder that never occurred. Naomi Colebrook's efforts to uncover the truth and save the innocent men form the heart of the tale. Collins's work is both a compelling legal sensation thriller and an important commentary on American life at the time. To understand this novella in its historical context, editor Anna Clark provides a range of background materials, including documents from the real-life murder trial that inspired the book. This edition includes the original text, along with Clark's introduction and additional background information to help you appreciate the work in its full complexity.
