Abstract:
During his lifetime, British fiction writer Wilkie Collins came to rival Charles Dickens in popularity and critical acclaim. Like Dickens, Collins often gravitated toward characters who overcame significant obstacles to learn important life lessons. The novella "The Guilty River" continues in this vein, recounting an against-all-odds love affair that blossoms between a couple that each hail from a different social caste.
