The Penguin English Library Edition of The Woman in White by Wilkie
Collins 'In one moment, every drop of blood in my body was brought
to a stop ... There, as if it had that moment sprung out of the
earth ... stood the figure of a solitary Woman, dressed from head
to foot in white' The Woman in White famously opens with Walter
Hartright's eerie encounter on a moonlit London road. Engaged as a
drawing master to the beautiful Laura Fairlie, Walter is drawn into
the sinister intrigues of Sir Percival Glyde and his 'charming'
friend Count Fosco, who has a taste for white mice, vanilla bonbons
and poison. Pursuing questions of identity and insanity along the
paths and corridors of English country houses and the madhouse, The
Woman in White is the first and most influential of the Victorian
genre that combined Gothic horror with psychological realism. The
Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in
English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to
the beginning of the First World War.
