false <![CDATA[No Name]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170275115m/45205.jpg 45205 21 Condemned by Victorian critics as immoral, but regarded today as a novel of outstanding social insight, No Name shows William Wilkie Collins at the height of his literary powers. It is the story of two sisters, Magdalen and Norah, who discover after the deaths of their dearly beloved parents<br>that their parents were not married at the time of their births. Disinherited and ousted from their estate, they must fend for themselves and either resign themselves to their fate or determine to recover their wealth by whatever means. 3242295 1862 No Name total:205|5:65|4:74|3:53|2:13|1:0| 205 806 402 26 4 2 false false Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 29 01:46:29 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 24 19:45:58 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 1 false false Tue Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 1977 Thu Jun 12 14:52:23 -0700 2008 Thu Jun 12 14:58:40 -0700 2008 I read this book in the late 70s, when I was in graduate school at NYU, taking a course in Victorian Literature.
