Hilda Wade, a Woman with Tenacity of Purpose
by Grant Allen
With contributions by Arthur Conan Doyle
"Hilda Wade, a Woman with Tenacity of Purpose" by Grant Allen is a novel serialized from 1899 to 1900. This early detective story features nurse Hilda Wade and narrator Dr. Hubert Cumberledge as they pursue the murderous Sebastian across continents. Wade seeks justice for her murdered father, vowing to marry Cumberledge only after bringing the killer to account. Unlike typical detective fiction focused on physical clues, this novel emphasizes psychological deduction and character study, exploring tensions between masculine and feminine knowledge in Victorian medicine.
