The Frozen Deep  by Wilkie Collins

First published in the year 1856, the present book ‘The Frozen Deep’ is a play written by two of the most notable writers of the Victorian era Wilkie Collins and Charles Dickens. The play grew in influence through a series of outside performances, including one before Queen Victoria at the Royal Gallery of Illustration, and a three-performance run at the Manchester Free Trade Hall for the benefit of the Douglas Jerrold Fund to benefit the widow of Dickens’s old friend, Douglas Jerrold.
