Wilkie Collins’s later novels are often as concerned with social issues as they are with simple storytelling–but as more and more critics are suggesting, the best of them are as readable and thought-provoking today as they were when they first appeared. Of none is this more true than of his 1883 novel Heart and Science, which Collins himself placed alongside his masterpiece The Woman in White.Heart and Science’s story of the struggle between strong-willed women will strike chords of sympathetic understanding with modern readers–as will its vivisectionist theme, with it’s clear parallels to the animal welfare/ animal rights debates of today.
