The Woman in White (Modern Library Classics)

by Wilkie Collins

The Woman in White (Modern Library Classics) Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Generally considered the first English sensation novel, The Woman in White features the remarkable heroine Marian Halcombe and her sleuthing partner, drawing master Walter Hartright, pitted against the diabolical team of Count Fosco and Sir Percival Glyde. A gripping tale of murder, intrigue, madness, and mistaken identity, Collinss psychological thriller has never been out of print in the 140 years since its publication. Anne Perry writes in her Introduction to this Modern Library Paperback Classic (set from the “New Edition” of 1861), “[The Woman in White] has lasted, to our great pleasure, because it is superb storytelling about people who engage our minds and our imaginations.”

Synopsis:

Set from the definitive "New Edition" of 1861 (London: Sampson, Low), this edition of Collins's popular Victorian psychological thriller features newly commissioned endnotes and a reading group guide.
