Marc Notes: Title from PDF title page (viewed on Sept. 13, 2012).; First published in 1883--T.p. verso.; Dr. Ovid Vere first caught sight of the love of his life the day before he was due to leave for the Mediterranean. He caught sight of her in the street and followed her to a concert, where she fainted. What could he do? He was a doctor, after all; he had to help her--and that's how he learned that she was Carmina Graywell, his mother's niece from Italy, accompanied by her old nurse, Teresa. Carmina's father, Robert, had just died, leaving her to be brought up by Mrs. Gallilee in London. That was before life got complicated--and the complications that were to come of that moment would vex them both for so long.; EBSCO complete collection. Publisher Marketing: Is it morally permissible to conduct often-painful experiments on innocent animals? That contentious debate is still going on today, but it has its roots in the Victorian era, when the issue of 'vivisection' had only recently made its way into the public discourse. In Heart and Science, self-professed animal lover Wilkie Collins uses fiction to mount a compelling attack on animal experimentation. This thought-provoking and entertaining novel is a worthy read. Contributor Bio: Collins, Wilkie Wilkie Collins (1824 1889) was an English novelist who critics often credit with the invention of the English detective novel. He is best known as the author of "Moonstone", "The Woman in White", "No Name", and "Armadale".
