An art teacher, a resourceful young lady, an orphaned heiress and a mysterious woman in white are the key players in this early example of detective fiction. Written in 1859, The Woman in White was originally published serially in Charles Dickens’ (yes, that Charles Dickens) magazine All the Year Round. Thus, this newsletter will release the story in the same instalments, just as nineteenth-century readers experienced it.
