"Griffith Gaunt; or, Jealousy" by Charles Reade is a sensation novel published in 1866. A gentleman without fortune marries a wealthy Catholic heiress, but their passionate eight-year marriage unravels through violent tempers and insane jealousy. When Griffith flees after a misunderstanding with his wife's priest, he assumes a false identity and commits bigamy with an innkeeper's daughter. His deception spirals into accusations of murder, a dramatic trial, and shocking revelations. This controversial
bestseller scandalized American critics with its bold portrayal of matrimonial betrayal and became Reade's personal favorite work. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
