Synopsis "Man and Wife (in English)"

Their surname, thinly disguised, and their musical abilities on the violin and piano appear in the characters of Julius Delamayn and his wife. Often cited as Collins's first didactic work, Man and Wife attacks both Irish and Scottish marriage laws as well as arguing the case for a Married Woman's Property Act. In 1855, a clever young lawyer called Delamayn finds a loophole in the Irish marriage laws which enables John Vanborough to annul the marriage that stands in the way of his parliamentary ambitions.

View Author's Page
(Londres 1824-1889) Dramaturgo, novelista y prolífico autor de relatos. A los 17 años comienza a trabajar en una empresa de comercio de té mientras escribe Ioláni, o Tahití tal como era (Gótica nº 32), obra que no vio la luz hasta más de un siglo después de su muerte. Estudió Derecho y, aunque nunca llegó a ejercer, sí utilizó los conocimientos jurídicos en muchas de sus obras, y la crítica le considera uno de los padres del género policiaco. En 1851, conoce a Charles Dickens, al que le unirá una profunda amistad y publicará en su semanario All the Year Around sus principales obras. Tras la muerte de Dickens en 1870, su popularidad decae. Padeció de gota reumática la que le acabó provocando una adicción al opio. El epitafio de su tumba le destaca como el autor de la novela La dama de blanco.
