Two friends and academics recap classic literature and take it off its pedestal. In our eighty-first episode, we cover our first (and THE first) sensation novel, Wilkie Collins's The Woman in White (1860). Daniel gets pissed off at the narrative structure and the lack of concertinas, while Abby basks in the glow of some real bad biddies.
