Description

Introduction
Collins's famous work pioneered the detective novel and opened up a new path for British literature. The appearance of the woman in white on the moonlit road is one of the two most dramatic scenes in literary history, the other being Carlyle's description of the women's march into Versailles in The French Revolution.
——Charles Dickens, a famous British writer [Brief Introduction]
The painter Hartright was invited to teach a young lady at the manor. During the journey, he met a woman in white with strange behavior. After arriving at the manor, he found that the woman in white was surprisingly similar to Miss Laura. Because of this coincidence, a conspiracy is quietly unfolding.
Laura's fiancé Percival is in huge debt and hopes to use Laura's property to pay off the debt. So he teamed up with Count Fosco and used the woman in white to make Laura's death appear after marriage, and then embezzled Laura's money. Hartright discovered this conspiracy, but the road to overturning the case was full of difficulties...


【Editor's recommendation】
Collins is one of the most famous writers in the Victorian era of 19th century Britain. His novels have complex and tortuous plots, are thrilling, gripping and fascinating, and have won countless readers. He can be compared with Charles Dickens, William Thackeray and other famous writers. Collins lived in the Victorian era when British novels were unprecedentedly prosperous. It was an era when literary giants such as Dickens and Thackeray emerged. He was lucky because his literary talent was brought into play, and he was fortunate to become a close friend of Dickens and others, which made him even more powerful. But he was also unfortunate. At that time, famous writers were as numerous as stars, and he lived under the dazzling halo of great writers, so that his literary achievements were overshadowed.
