The churchyard in Collins's The Woman in White represents an aesthetic metaphor for the Victorian social order and, in its enclosure, it seems to perpetuate its values and cultural tenets. In the course of the plot, however, it gradually tranforms itself into a gothic/fantastic space in which Anne Cahtherick's voice powerfully resonates and puts the Victorian legal system under discussion.

Abstract
The churchyard in Collins's The Woman in White represents an aesthetic metaphor for the Victorian social order and, in its enclosure, it seems to perpetuate its values and cultural tenets. In the course of the plot, however, it gradually tranforms itself into a gothic/fantastic space in which Anne Cahtherick's voice powerfully resonates and puts the Victorian legal system under discussion.
