'Lady Audley uttered a long, low, wailing cry, and threw up her arms above her head with a wild gesture of despair, but she made no answer to the ghastly charge of her accuser.' Robert Audley is pleased for his uncle when he brings home a pretty young bride, even though her past is shrouded in mystery. But when his old friend Talboys is treated strangely by Lady Audley, then goes suddenly missing, Robert has no choice but to begin investigations. Lady Audley's Secret epitomized the scandalous sensation fiction of the 1860s. Lady Audley herself, a beautiful woman with a mysterious past, embodied the concerns of the age with the rise of the middle class and with madness and morality.

Mary Elizabeth Braddon nació en Londres en 1835. Creció en un hogar monoparental que la obligó a buscar empleo en cuanto obtuvo la mayoría de edad. Primero actriz y después escritora, Mary Elizabeth Braddon fue una mujer que, con su prosa y su vida, escandalizó y removió los encorsetados cimientos de la sociedad victoriana. Escribió casi noventa novelas, más de ciento cincuenta relatos cortos, nueve obras de teatro y una colección de poesía. Fundó su propia revista literaria en la que reflejó el impulso de su público, mayoritariamente femenino, por una sociedad igualitaria.
