description: 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.
