East Lynne was wildly popular for many years after its publication. There were numerous stage adaptations, under its own title and copycat versions, and it was a staple offering of many touring stock companies during the latter half of the 19th century.
There were also a number of film adaptations, of which the 1931 film received an Academy award nomination for Best Picture. The latest film version is a 1982 BBC made for television production.
