The novel is a 19th-century semi-epistolary one. Armadale is a novel by Wilkie Collins, first published in 1864-66. Some linking passages consist of letters between the various characters, or of extracts from Lydia's journal, but the great majority of the text narrates the events as they occur. The novel has a convoluted plot about two distant cousins both named Allan Armadale. The father of one had murdered the father of the other (the two fathers are also named Allan Armadale).'The distortions of the plot, the violent and irrational reactions of the characters, reflect and dramatise the ways in which his readers' perceptions were distorted by the assumptions and hypocrisies of the society in which they lived,"writes Catherine Peters in the comment book.It is the third of Wilkie Collins's four 'great novels' of the 1860s: after The Woman in White (1859–60) and No Name (1862), and before The Moonstone (1868).

小說已完結(jié)26.83萬
《尤利西斯》首先連載于1918年美國雜志《小評論》直到1920年結(jié)束。后緊接著被全書出版。隨后被公認(rèn)為“現(xiàn)代文學(xué)中最重要的文學(xué)作品之一”。所謂“尤利西斯”,就是荷馬筆下的“奧德賽”。該書全書近27萬字(英語),使用了30030個詞匯。一出版,就引來巨大好奇。因為作者使用了20世紀(jì)初頗流行的心理研究技術(shù)“意識流”,并仔細(xì)斟酌布局,全書使用了很多雙關(guān)語、隱喻、幽默等極具特色的手段?,F(xiàn)在已被公認(rèn)為“最了不起的小說”。1998年,美國現(xiàn)代圖書館將這部小說列入“20世紀(jì)英語世界最佳小說”,將其列為全榜的榜首位置,足見此小說給20世紀(jì)的文學(xué)帶來多大的影響力。
