Hace ahora más de un siglo pocas eran las distracciones concedidas al lector inglés, agobiado por el rígido puritanismo de la época. Fue entonces cuando la prosa de Wilkie Collins sorprendió y entusiasmó a crítica y público haciendo transitar por unas vías totalmente originales las constantes de la prosa realista. Si en el extraño caso planteado en «La dama de blanco» las protagonistas eran mujeres, en «Armadale» el autor nos cuenta la historia de dos hombres con el mismo nombre e igual apellido que se ven involucrados en una aventura común: la prosecución de una herencia. Engaño tras engaño, mentira tras mentira, la trama se desenvuelve recurriendo a menudo a los efectos propios del folletín, pero sin perder nunca ese afán por ir más allá en la comprensión del mundo que hace de una novela una obra de arte.
