The Woman in White (Penguin Classics)

by Wilkie Collins

The Woman in White (Penguin 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, Collins's psychological thriller has never been out of print in the 140 years since its publication.

Synopsis:

Edited with an Introduction and Notes by Matthew Sweet.
