Written in 1859, The Woman in White sealed Wilkie Collins' reputation as the early master of detective fiction. Indeed, Collins considered it to be his best work. Using multiple narrators, Collins weaves a fine tale around the mysterious woman who dresses entirely in white and the uncovering of the family secret of Sir Percival Glyde. It highlights the unequal position of married women that existed at the time of Collins' writing of the work.
