Wilkie Collins: The Woman in White

William Wilkie Collins is a classic of 19th-century English literature who went down in history as the forefather of modern detective fiction. The key to the success of Collins' works—who penned twenty-three novels and four collections of short stories and novellas—was his blending of genres: the author skillfully combined melodrama, detective fiction, and the novel of manners, generously seasoned with elements of the Gothic novel.
It is in this style that Collins' most famous novel, "The Woman in White," is written. It is based on a gripping plot about a grim crime, the secret of which is hidden behind the figure of a mysterious woman dressed in a white dress.
