| Meer info | Collection of leaves – like a scrapbook- containing the first ever printing of this novel as serialised anonymously in the issues 31 to 70 of “All The Year Round” (November 26, 1859 - August 25, 1860) a weekly journal conducted by Charles Dickens. Throughout the volume are numerous areas of pasted paper overlays that conceal any text that is not part of the novel. Overlays vary in size, sometimes covering an entire page verso. Together with the four tipped-in smaller paragraphs of text the novel is complete. The Woman in White was published with corrections in three-volume form on 15 August 1860, 10 days before the final installment appeared in All the Year Round. Its initial run of 1,000 copies sold out on the day of publication and the next run of 1,350 copies sold out in a week. It was a blockbuster. What Collins may not have anticipated was the way that his appeals to the popular imagination would continue to reshape The Woman in White long after the serial edition had ceased its run. In his preface to the first volume edition, Collins informs readers that the text has been “carefully revised”. Not only is this book a pre first edition, but it also contains the original text without corrections. |
