What a great idea! Instead of reading The Woman in White as a novel, you can experience it in its original serialized format. I happened across this site:

THE WOMAN IN WHITE IN ITS ORIGINAL PARTS
150th anniversary project

One hundred and fifty years after its first publication, The Woman in White is being published once more in its original, weekly parts. For the first time in one and a half centuries readers can enjoy the original text as it was published. And experience the agonising week’s wait after each cliff-hanging ending.

The story first appeared as a serial in Charles Dickens’s periodical “All The Year Round” beginning with the issue dated Saturday 26 November 1859 and ending with the issue dated Saturday 25 August 1860.

I guess I’m getting a late start, but it’ll still be fun to try this and reread it weekly just to get a glimpse of how it was when when my ancestors read it in 1859.
