In 1859 the popular novelist Wilkie Collins wrote of a ghostly
woman, dressed from head to toe in white garments, laying her cold,
thin hand on the shoulder of a young man as he walked home late one
evening. His novel The Woman in White became hugely successful and
popularised a style of writing that came to be known as sensation
fiction. This Companion highlights the energy, the impact and the
inventiveness of the novels that were written in 'sensational'
style, including the work of Mary Elizabeth Braddon, Mrs Henry Wood
and Florence Marryat. It contains fifteen specially-commissioned
essays and includes a chronology and a guide to further reading.
Accessible yet rigorous, this Companion questions what influenced
the shape and texture of the sensation novel, and what its
repercussions were both in the nineteenth century and up to the
present day.
