Contemporaries considered "The Woman in White" by Wilkie Collins the most popular novel of the XIX century. It was written in 1860 and immediately made the author a famous writer. Fans eagerly awaited the issues of Dickens' magazine "Roundabout", where the book was published in installments. Collins got the idea for his romantic drama from Maurice Mezhan's "Handbook of Famous Cases", which told the story of a French marquise whose brother had taken possession of her fortune by placing his sister in an insane asylum under an assumed name. Collins' novel begins just as the episode of the main character William Hartwright's meeting with a mysterious woman in white, who escaped from the madhouse. Unraveling the mystery of this enigmatic heroine - one of the main plot lines of the novel, closely intertwined with another - with the love story of a poor artist William Hartwright and a rich heiress Laura Ferley. The rejection of society, social conventions will stand in the way of this love. However, a much more terrible obstacle will be unscrupulous people who are ready to commit any crime for the sake of money and preserving the secrets of their past. For high school age.
