As the inscription on his tombstone reveals, Wilkie Collins wanted
to be remembered as the "author of The Woman in White," for it was
this novel that secured his reputation during his lifetime. The
novel begins with a drawing teacher's eerie late-night encounter
with a mysterious woman in white, and then follows his love for
Laura Fairlie, a young woman who is falsely incarcerated in an
asylum by her husband, Sir Percival Glyde, and his sinister
accomplice, Count Fosco. This edition returns to the original text
that galvanized England when it was published in serial form in All
the Year Round magazine in 1860. Three different prefaces Collins
wrote for the novel, as well as two of his essays on the book's
composition, are reprinted, along with nine illustrations. The
appendices include contemporary reviews, along with essays on
lunacy, asylums, mesmerism, and the rights of women.
