This article traces a single plot-the plot of bigamous return-through a range of genres and texts, including Mary Elizabeth Braddon's Lady Audley's Secret (1862) and Alfred Tennyson's "Enoch Arden" (1864), concentrating on Elizabeth Gaskell's Sylvia's Lovers (1863). Arguing that plot is a more productive heuristic than genre, this article investigates the intersection of literary currents in one historical moment with the long durée of a recurring story, powerfully present in nautical ballads and melodrama
