Collins' The Woman in White interpreted the ethical and moral ideas of the middle class in the Victorian Age, which formed the genre of sensation novel and reached the dialectical unification between form and content in a sensation novel, and thus exerted great impact on the Development of the later similar fiction in the different literary contexts.
