The Heavenly Twins Classic Illustrated edition

* Beautifully illustrated with atmospheric paintings by renowned artists, The Heavenly Twins is an absolute gem of a novel. It deals with subjects related to women that were highly sensitive at the time of its first publication in the late nineteenth century. Themes include the dangers of the double standard that men's promiscuity is overlooked whilst women are punished for it; the need for intelligent, middle-class women to choose their partner more carefully; women's inequality; and the dangers of sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis. * Just as accessible and enjoyable for today's modern readers as it would have been when first published over a century ago, the novel is one of the great works of English literature and continues to be widely read throughout the world.* This meticulous edition from Heritage Illustrated Publishing is a faithful reproduction of the original text and is enhanced with images of classic works of art carefully selected by our team of professional editors.
