A Skeleton Novel: Or The Under-Current Of Society is a book written by Grace Webster and first published in 1866. The novel is set in the mid-19th century and explores the hidden and often seedy underbelly of society. The story follows the lives of several characters, including a young woman named Ada, who is forced into prostitution to survive, and a wealthy businessman named Mr. Maxwell, who is involved in various illegal activities.Through the interconnected lives of these characters, the novel reveals the dark side of Victorian society, including poverty, corruption, and exploitation. It also touches on themes such as social class, gender roles, and the struggle for power and control.The book is written in a Gothic style, with vivid descriptions of the settings and characters, and a suspenseful plot that keeps readers engaged. It is a thought-provoking and challenging read that offers a unique perspective on the complexities of Victorian society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
