EBOOK Woman in White

The Woman in White (1859-60) is the first and greatest `Sensation Novel&'. Walter Hartright&'s mysterious midnight encounter with the woman in white draws him into a vortex of crime, poison, kidnapping, and international intrigue.  The novel is dominated by two of the finest creations in all Victorian fiction - Marion Halcombe, dark, mannish, yet irresistibly fascinating, and Count Fosco, the sinister and flamboyant `Napoleon of Crime&'. A masterwork of intricate construction, The Woman in White sets new standards of suspense and excitement, and achieved sales which topped even those of Dickens, Collins&'s friend and mentor.  ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World&'s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.
