COLLINS, Wilkie.

£675 · Offered by Peter Harrington · No longer available

The Woman in White. First British one-volume edition, and the first edition to contain a photographic portrait of the author. Following the work's sudden success upon its initial publication the previous year, reviewers coined the term 'sensation novel' to describe Collins' stories, and he is now considered the founder of the popular genre.
