With Lady Audley's Secret, Mary Elizabeth Braddon had established herself, alongside Wilkie Collins and Mrs Henry Wood, as one of the ruling triumvirate of sensation novelists'. Aurora Floyd (1862-3), following hot on its heels, achieved almost equal popularity and notoriety.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. Passionate, sometimes violent, Aurora does succeed in enjoying them, her desires scarcely chastened by her disastrous first marriage. She represents a challenge to the mid-Victorian sexual code, and particularly to the feminine ideal of simpering, angelic young ladyhood.
P. D. Edward's introduction evaluates the novel's leading place among bigamy-novels' and Braddon's treatment of the power struggle between the sexes, as well as considering the similarities between the author and her heroine.

Great little umbrella light, I love it!
Color: Warm White, Color: Warm White
This umbrella light is small , compact and very lightweight, you can effortlessly move it around if your changing umbrellas. I Also love how bright this little thing is, with the click of a button the place is brightly lit. Love, that you don't have to have all the lights on if you don't want to that's a stand out feature. Great little light that adds a touch of elegance. Very user-friendly, in seconds to minutes its up and running.

Great Light but NOT USB CHARGEABLE
I bought this lamp for my bell tent, which has a center pole. It did exactly what I wanted it to do: provide light to my whole tent instead of depending on a lantern or flashlight. It snapped on easily and fit the pole perfectly. I wish it had a remote but I could have spent more and bought one with that functionality. The reason I took a star off is because it is advertised as being USB and even requires RECHARGABLE batteries. Since I'm not savvy on these things I paid extra for the batteries thinking the USB charges them in the device. NOPE. The USB is just for powering the light from an ac source (which is pointless for what I use it for).

Kinda of a cool gadget
Color: Cool White
I really didn't know I needed this until I got it! Easy and quick to recharge batteries (they do not come with rechargeable batteries). Put out enough light for an evening outside around the table

Love the Warm Glow!
Color: Warm White
This light is very easy to install and has 3 different lighting options. I love the warm white light it emits as opposed to a bright white light that could attract bugs at night. Perfect light for patio, deck, camping, golf cart, etc!

It feels cheap and works just okay
This product just feels like it was made on the bottom dollar. It is very cheaply made and the doors to the battery compartment are so fragile it feels like they may snap next time I have to change the batteries. There's absolutely no weather proofing so I wouldn't leave it outside in the rain or heat. That being said, it's fine. It stays put on our umbrella and puts out light, albeit not much light.
