Industry Reviews
"We are in a period of diseased invention, and the coming phase of it may be palsy. Mr. Collins belongs to the class of professing satirists who are eager to lay bare the 'blotches and bains' which fester beneath the skin and taint the blood of humanity....This time the interest of his tale centers upon one of the most hardened female villains whose devices and desires have ever blackened fiction--a forger, a convicted adulteress, murderess, and thief, aged thirty-five...."
Athenaeum (London), 19th-century - H. F. Chorley (06/02/1866)

"The one of Collins's novels which we should choose as the most typical, or as the best of the more typical, and which we should recommend as a specimen of the melodramatic fiction of the epoch, is 'Armadale'....Like most of Collins's novels, it has the immense--and nowadays more and more rare--merit of never being dull."
Times Literary Supplement - T. S. Eliot (08/04/1927)

"The Sensation Novel, that explosive phenomenon of the 1860s, here most thoroughly lives up to its billing....Secret crimes, prophetic dreams, stolen identities: from these Collins constructs a melodrama that is like an immense prose poem."
O'Brien
