The Hunchback, by James Sheridan Knowles (1784 - 1862)
In this romantic Victorian melodrama, the main characters must learn to see through the deceptive fronts that other present in order to discover their heart’s true desires. Dramatic reversals of fortune prevent Julia, a young lady from the country and her guardian, the embittered Master Walter, from finding happiness and love. (Summary by Kelly Taylor )
