Dreadful book covers

I was browsing in my local used bookstore this afternoon when I came across this version of East Lynne, by Ellen Wood, published by Rutgers University Press in 1988. East Lynne was originally published in 1861 and was considered "trash"--albeit popular trash--when it came out. Voila, the trashy cover! (If you can't enlarge the image, at the bottom, the caption is, "Look at me! I am your mother!" and the text in the circle at the top by the title reads, "The Great Emotional Drama").
