History in Vogue discussion

'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 is drawn into 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.

I have Harper-Collins Edition and its contents seems somewhat different to that which is set out here according to the Penguine edition.

I looked at a couple of editions, even downloaded an ebook, and it seems there are some differences. It works out to about ten chapters per week, but I can try to list the chapters individually each week when I post the section, or maybe post the last line of that section. I'll figure out some way to make sure everyone knows where they're supposed to be.

Thanks, Marie. :) Hope you are well and safe.

Ahh, this is a good read.
Marie I had read this just months ago and put in a review here as well, so I'll not be reading it again, but will join in the discussion?
