Wilkie Collins - The Woman in White - 1891

Wilkie Collins' The Woman in White is considered one of the earliest and most influential sensation novels of the 19th century. The narrative unfolds through a series of testimonies and documents, creating a layered structure that heightens the mystery surrounding the enigmatic woman dressed entirely in white. Her sudden appearance sets off a chain of events involving identity, deception, coercion, and long-buried secrets. Collins masterfully blends psychological tension with social commentary, making the novel a lasting cornerstone of Victorian literature.

This 1891 Chatto & Windus edition represents an early printing that appears less frequently on the market than the numerous 20th-century reissues. Copies from the 19th century have become increasingly scarce, especially those that have survived in their original binding, which adds to their desirability among collectors of Victorian fiction and early sensation literature.
