Like ,Lady Audley,, Aurora is a beautiful young woman bigamously married and threatened with exposure by a blackmailer. But in ,Aurora Floyd,, and in many of the novels written in imitation of it, bigamy is little more than a euphemism, a device to enable the heroine, and vicariously the reader, to enjoy the forbidden sweets of adultery without adulterous intentions.
