The original text
Based on Elizabeth Braddon's (1835-1915)[2] popular novel, which was partly serialised in Robin Goodfellow magazine July–September 1861, then entirely serialised in Sixpenny Magazine January–December 1862 and once again serialised in London Journal March–August 1863. It was published in book form (three volumes) in 1862 by William Tinsley,
The novel has been dramatised and filmed several times, but possibly the first adaptation for the stage was done by C.H. Hazlewood shortly after its appearance and first performed by Framton and Fenton in the Victoria Theatre, London, on 25 May 1863. Hazlewood's text was published in 1863 by Thomas Hailes Lacy's series Acting Edition of Plays (as Supplement No. 3) and later as acting edition no 412 in French's Standard Drama by Samuel French.
