Secrets, mistaken identities, surprise revelations, amnesia, locked rooms and locked asylums, and an unorthodox villain made this mystery thriller an instant success when it first appeared in 1860, and it has continued to enthrall readers ever since. From the hero's foreboding before his arrival at Limmeridge House to the nefarious plot concerning the beautiful Laura, the breathtaking tension of Collins's narrative created a new literary genre of suspense fiction, which profoundly shaped the course of English popular writing. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCollins's other great mystery, \u003ci\u003eThe Moonstone, \u003c\/i\u003e has been called the finest detective story ever written, but it was this work that so gripped the imagination of the world that Wilkie Collins had his own tombstone inscribed: \"Author of\u003cb\u003e The Woman in White\u003c\/b\u003e.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bantam Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/1985\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780553212631\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 800\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.90h x 4.20w x 1.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew Yorker (The)\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/25\/2011 pg. 75\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Wilkie Collins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43059701481653,"sku":"9780553212631","price":5.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_262e3c7a-1335-40b1-8238-0d5b39297c0c.jpg?v=1690297283","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-woman-in-white-9780553212631","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
