No Name

No Name by Wilkie Collins is a classic Victorian novel which employs a variety of narrative techniques to explore the socio-cultural underpinnings of the 19th century. Through its examination of gender roles and familial conventions, Collins illustrates how law and society can marginalize individuals within a given construct. In addition, the novel serves as an exploration of what it means to be an individual in a world where one's identity is so closely tied to their name.
