Author Description

Sensation novel written in times before the morrow, sophisticated in a way modern sensation novels lack. The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins is a book of a detective fiction first published in 1860 United Kingdom. A true book of worth, a classic that lives in an era of timeless distinction. Early books emit an excellence unlike any from modern times. You will not be dissatisfied with this works, a timeless classic at its finest. Sneak Peak "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". "Women can resist a man's love, a man's fame, a man's personal appearance, and a man's money, but they cannot resist a man's tongue when he knows how to talk to them." "Any woman who is sure of her own wits, is a match, at any time, for a man who is not sure of his own temper." Synopsis Wilkie Collins' fifth published novel, The Woman in White, was written in 1859 and published in 1860. It's a mystery novel that fits into the "sensation novel" category. With protagonist Walter Hartright adopting many of the investigation skills used by later private detectives, the narrative can be viewed as an early example of detective fiction. Collins's legal expertise is evident in the employment of many narrators (nearly all of the main characters), and as he states in his preamble, "the story here recounted will be told by more than one pen, as the account of a crime against the laws is told in Court by more than one witness." In the creation of drawing master Walter Hartright, Collins drew on recollections of his father, the artist William Collins, and populates his story with a variety of Italian characters, perhaps inspired by two years spent in Italy during childhood.
