Woman in White

The Woman in White is defined as an "emotional thriller novel" among the fictional works of the Victorian period and combines the tension of Gothic literature with the influence of English literature. It is considered the first example of the genre that combines it with psychological realism.

Wilkie Collins, the master of the striking narrative style that conveys the various mental states of the novel characters, in this first novel, brings the horror of gothic novels from the mysterious Italian castles to the more modern, middle-class houses of Victorian England. carried. While Gothic literature mostly focuses on the themes of murder, madness and bigamy, The Woman in White type novels convey some malicious intentions and the events related to them in the rural mansions of the period. Henry James describes Collins' works as "Mr. Collins has incorporated into the novel the most mysterious of mysteries, the enigma at our doorstep." The fact that Charles Dickens tried to write a novel imitating him can be considered sufficient to indicate the value of Wilkie Collins and The Woman in White. Collins explains his style as "the secrets of the theater at home".
