The Woman in White (novel) Walter Hartright, a young art teacher, encounters and gives directions to a mysterious and distressed woman dressed entirely in white, lost in London; he is later informed by policemen that she has escaped from an asylum. Soon afterwards, he travels to Limmeridge House in Cumberland, having been hired as a drawing teacher on the recommendation of his friend, Pesca, an Italian language teacher. The Limmeridge household comprises the invalid Frederick Fairlie and Walter's students: Laura Fairlie, Mr. Fairlie's niece, and Marian Halcombe, her devoted half-sister. Walter realises that Laura bears an astonishing resemblance to the woman in white, who is known to the household by the name of Anne Catherick, a mentally disabled child who formerly lived near Limmeridge and was devoted to Laura's mother, who first dressed her in white. Over the next few months, Walter and Laura fall in love, despite Laura's betrothal to Sir Percival Glyde, Baronet. Upon realising this, Marian advises Walter to leave Limmeridge. Laura receives an anonymous letter warning her against marrying Glyde. Walter deduces that Anne has sent the letter and encounters her again in Cumberland; he becomes convinced that Glyde originally placed Anne in the asylum. Despite the misgivings of the family lawyer over the financial terms of the marriage settlement, which will give the entirety of Laura's fortune to Glyde if she dies without leaving an heir, and Laura's confession that she loves another man, Laura and Glyde marry in December 1849 and travel to Italy for six months. Concurrently, Walter joins an expedition to Honduras.

The Woman in White is widely considered to be one of the first mystery novels as well as a first in the genre of "sensation" novels. It was written by Wilkie Collins in 1859 and tells a story of intrigue in London. Walter Hartright is a young art teacher. One night in London, he sees a distressed woman dressed entirely in white. He gives her directions, and later finds out from the police that she had escaped from a nearby asylum. A little while after these events, he travels to his new position at Limmeridge House in Cumberland. When he arrives, the household is comprised of Frederick Fairlie, who is an invalid, and Hartright''s students, Laura and Marian Halcombe. Laura bears a striking resemblance to the woman in white, and that the household is acquainted with the woman, whose name is Anne Catherick, and who was devoted to Laura''s mother. Hartright and Laura fall in love over the next few months although she is engaged to another man, Sir Percival Glyde. Marion advises Walter to leave the house, and Laura receives a mysterious letter warning her not to marry Glyde. Walter discovers that Anne sent the letter, and he believes that it was Glyde who originally had Anne committed to the asylum. Laura and Glyde marry, despite her lawyer''s concerns over the marriage contract. Glyde will inherit all of Laura''s fortune if she dies without an heir. They travel to Italy for six months, and Walter joins an expedition to Honduras. When Laura and her new husband return, Marian discovers that Glyde is in financial difficulties. He tries to bully Laura into signing a document allowing him to use her marriage settlement but she refuses. Anne tells Laura that she knows a secret that will ruin Glyde, and he becomes paranoid that Laura knows his secret. His friend, Fosco, devises a plan to switch Laura and Anne''s places, putting Laura in the asylum and burying Anne, who is ill, under the name Laura when she dies. Marian overhears part of the plan, but she falls ill before she can tell Laura, who Glyde and Fosco trick into going to London. Anne succumbs to her illness and Laura is drugged and placed in the asylum. Marian visits the asylum hoping to learn more from Anne, but she finds Laura instead. She bribes the nurse and the two escape. They live with Walter in London and formulate a plan to restore Laura''s identity. In trying to make sense of the situation, Walter learns that Glyde was illegitimate and therefore ineligible to inherit his title and land. Glyde attempts to destroy the incriminating documents but perishes in the fire. Tragically, Walter discovers that Anne never knew his secret. She was only repeating words her mother said to Glyde in anger. Glyde had no problem inheriting his estate, but he needed a marriage certificate to borrow money. He went to the church and planted a fake certificate, and Mrs. Catherick helped him get access to the register. She was given a gold watch and an annual sum of money for her efforts. When Glyde dies, the trio is safe, but to restore Laura''s identity they have to prove that the real Anne Catherick is dead. Walter thinks that Anne died before Laura''s trip to London, but Fosco is the only one who knows for certain. When Fosco tries to flee the country, Walter forces him to write a confession in exchange for safe passage from England. This confession restores Laura''s identity. Walter and Laura marry, and when Frederick Fairlie dies, their son inherits his estate. One of the major themes of the book is that of identity. We do not know who the woman in white is, and her identity becomes a major turning point of the story. Later on, Glyde is found not to be who he says he is either. Rather, he is the illegitimate son of a wealthy man and is not entitled to his estate. Finally, Laura and Anne''s identities are switched in an attempt to get Laura out of the way so that Glyde can inherit all her money when she dies.

'In one moment, every drop of blood in my body was brought to a stop... There, as if it had that moment sprung out of the earth, stood the figure of a solitary Woman, dressed from head to foot in white' The Woman in White famously opens with Walter Hartright's eerie encounter on a moonlit London road. Engaged as a drawing master to the beautiful Laura Fairlie, Walter becomes embroiled in the sinister intrigues of Sir Percival Glyde and his 'charming' friend Count Fosco, who has a taste for white mice, vanilla bonbons, and poison. Pursuing questions of identity and insanity along the paths and corridors of English country houses and the madhouse, The Woman in White is the first and most influential of the Victorian genre that combined Gothic horror with psychological realism.
