In which Dickens novel was Miss Havisham jilted on her wedding day?

Great Expectations is the thirteenth novel by Charles Dickens and his penultimate completed novel; a bildungsroman that depicts the personal growth and personal development of an orphan nicknamed Pip.

Miss Havisham is a significant character in the Charles Dickens novel Great Expectations (1861). She is a wealthy spinster who lives in her ruined mansion, Satis House, with her adopted daughter, Estella. Dickens describes her as looking like "the witch of the place".

Miss Havisham's father was a wealthy brewer and her mother had died shortly after she was born. He married again in secret and conceived a son, Arthur, with the family cook, but Miss Havisham's relationship with her brother was far from harmonious.

She inherited most of her father's fortune and fell in love with a man named Compeyson, who had conspired with the jealous Arthur to swindle her of her riches. Her cousin, Matthew Pocket, warned her to be careful, but she was too much in love to listen. On the wedding day, while she was dressing, Miss Havisham received a letter from Compeyson and realised he had defrauded her and she had been left at the altar.
