An adulterous young woman - Her husband’s affair with an evil French temptress - A violent murder - A sensational trial - Mesmerism and trances - A lunatic asylum - Jealousy - RevengeThese are just some of the plot elements of The Fate of Fenella. But even stranger and more sensational than its wild and fast-paced plot is the novel’s composition. An experimental novel, featuring twenty-four chapters, each written by a different bestselling Victorian novelist without collaboration with the other authors, The Fate of Fenella remains as fascinating today as when first published in 1892.This edition, the first since 1892, includes a new introduction by Andrew Maunder placing the novel in the larger context of the 1890s publishing marketplace, as well as extensive notes, and biographies of the twenty-four authors. In addition to its interest as a thrilling tale of mystery and murder, The Fate of Fenella is the ideal introduction to the late Victorian popular novel and two dozen of its most famous practitioners.Contains chapters by: Arthur Conan Doyle, Bram Stoker, Helen Mathers, Justin H.
