No Name (1862) This 19th-century legal thriller revolves around the issue of illegitimacy.

Magdalen falls in love with Frank Clare, the dashing rogue son of a neighbour but before long-simmering secret is revealed when Mr and Mrs Vanstone die suddenly. The girls discover their parents were only married several months earlier, and the will has been invalidated. The girls have no family name, no fortune and no inheritance as they set out to make their own way in the world.
