HarperCollins is thrilled to showcase its extensive collection of beloved and indispensable classics. The woman who first breathes life, light, and form into our dimly perceived notions of beauty, fills a void in our spiritual essence that has remained undiscovered until her emergence. One of the pioneering works of detective fiction, featuring a narrative intricately woven from multiple characters, Wilkie Collins drew inspiration for his infamous novel from a real-life eighteenth-century case of abduction and wrongful imprisonment. In 1859, the story captivated readers with its haunting first scene, introducing the enigmatic 'Woman in White' Anne Catherick to Walter Hartright. Enveloping the reader in a chilling, suspenseful, and tense atmosphere, the novel retains its emotional impact on readers today, just as it did upon its initial publication.
