No less comprehensive is Tarr's knowledge of sensation fiction, from seminal texts like The Woman in White and Lady Audley's Secret to more obscure ones such as Blood, Checkmate, and Verner's Pride. Personation Plots is a unique and notable study, valuable not only for its key arguments but also for introducing readers to less familiar works by Le Fanu, Braddon, Reade, and others. - Sean C.
