Book Description
Generally considered the first English sensation novel, The Woman in White features the remarkable heroine Marian Halcome 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. 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.”
Reader Reviews
Penguin Classics Edition is an Easy Read, October 11, 2003
Reviewer:

I'll keep this brief. This is an excellent book, as other reviews will tell you. This particular edition, Penguin Classics, is the one I read, and I enjoyed it all the more because of the endnotes. I don't know if endnotes are included in all editions, but they definitely helped clear up a few of the more obscure terms scattered throughout the book. The excerpt of the play at the end is also a good addition.
