The novel begins with a description of Audley Court, an old and picturesque house in the county of Essex in England. It is the home of Sir Michael Audley, his daughter Alicia, and his second wife. Sir Michael is a baronet, who has married for a second time at age 55, seventeen years after the death of his first wife. The woman he married is named Lucy Graham. Prior to her marriage, the wife of the village surgeon, Mrs. Dawson, had employed her: she had acted as a governess to Mrs. Dawson's daughters. Lucy is very beautiful and charms everyone she meets; after seeing her at church, Sir Michael fell very strongly in love. When Sir Michael proposed, Lucy gave a strange speech about how she could not be expected to resist the offer he was making, and then accepted his proposal. A number of small details suggest that Lucy may have been hiding a secret, possibly related to a child or a previous marriage. Meanwhile, George Talboys is onboard a ship sailing from Sydney, Australia to Liverpool, England. George is returning to his wife after three and a half years. George had been a soldier stationed at a seaport town when he met his future wife. Her father was poor and had a drinking problem, and hoped to marry his daughter to a wealthy military man. George fell in love and married her, but although he came from a wealthy family, he was disowned when his father learned that he had married a girl without a fortune. George tried unsuccessfully to find work, with the situation growing more desperate now that his wife had given birth to a son. He and his wife argued about money and he left the house so upset that he considered committing suicide. Instead, he overheard a conversation about the Australian goldfields and decided to secretly travel to Australia, make money, and then return. He left a short note for his wife, explaining his plan, and departed. After much suffering in Australia, he discovered a large gold deposit that earned him a large sum of money. He is now returning to his wife; during his absence, he only sent her one letter, in which he told her he was returning and provided her with the address she could use to contact him.

Lady Audley's Secret is a sensation novel by Mary Elizabeth Braddon published in 1862. It was Braddon's most successful and well-known novel. Critic John Sutherland (1989) described the work as "the most sensationally successful of all the sensation novels". The plot centres on "accidental bigamy" which was in literary fashion in the early 1860s. The plot was summarised by literary critic Elaine Showalter (1982): "Braddon's bigamous heroine deserts her child, pushes husband number one down a well, thinks about poisoning husband number two and sets fire to a hotel in which her other male acquaintances are residing". Elements of the novel mirror themes of the real-life Constance Kent case of June 1860 which gripped the nation for years. A follow-up novel, Aurora Floyd, appeared in 1863. Braddon set the story in Ingatestone Hall, Essex, inspired by a visit there. There have been three silent film adaptations, one UK television version in 2000, and three minor stage adaptations.Mary Elizabeth Braddon (1835 -1915) was an English popular novelist of the Victorian era.[

Graceful and lovely Lady Audley may not be all that she seems in this Victorian-era equivalent of Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl—with an introduction by Flynn Berry, the Edgar Award–winning author of Under the Harrow and A Double Life Lady Audley is young, beautiful, and universally adored. Everyone comments on her sweet nature and her perfect marriage to the wealthy and aristocratic Sir Michael Audley. Sir Michael’s nephew Robert is equally struck by his new aunt’s angelic ways—until he notices the strange, terrifying effect Lady Audley has on his friend George Talboys. When George mysteriously vanishes, Robert is convinced that Lady Audley is neither as innocent nor as helpless as she appears, and he sets out to discover what secrets lie in Lady Audley’s past. A bestseller when it was first published in 1862, Lady Audley’s Secret shocked readers because it dared to suggest that beneath a perfect surface a woman might be willing to lie, con, and even kill for the life she wanted. The Modern Library Torchbearers series features women who wrote on their own terms, with boldness, creativity, and a spirit of resistance.

Mary Elizabeth Braddon’s shocking and suspenseful novel Lady Audley’s Secret was one of the most popular examples of the “sensation fiction” craze of the 1860s. Within a year of the novel appearing in book form, no less than three theatrical adaptations appeared on the London stage. Braddon took strong issue with two of these, but she approved of the adaptation by Robert Walters (writing under the pseudonym “George Roberts”); this edition presents that version, which enjoyed a two season run at the Royal St. James Theatre. Entertaining in itself, the play also provides a fascinating example of how the suspense and the powerful characterizations of sensation fiction were heightened still further for the stage. Together with the annotated text of the play itself, this edition includes an introduction addressing the life and work of Mary Elizabeth Braddon and placing Lady Audley’s Secret: A Drama in Two Acts in the context of the sensation fiction phenomenon. Appendices include a substantial selection of reviews of Lady Audley’s Secret—of the novel as well as of its dramatic adaptations—as well as a selection from the novel for comparison with the play.

As Sir Michael Audley celebrates his marriage to Lucy Graham, his nephew, the barrister Robert Audley, welcomes his old friend George Talboys back to England, after three years of gold prospecting in Australia. George finds out that his wife Helen has died and that his son is under the care of his father in law. After settling the matter of the boy's guardianship, the Robert and Geroge set off to visit Sir Michael. While at the country manor Audley Court, Lady Audley avoids meeting George, and when the two seek an audience with the new Lady Audley, she makes many excuses to avoid their visit. Shortly thereafter, George disappears during a visit to Audley Court, much to Robert's consternation. Unwilling to believe that George has simply left suddenly and without notice, Robert begins to look into the circumstances around George's strange disappearance. His notes indicate the involvement of Lady Audley, much to his chagrin, and he slowly begins to collect evidence against her.
