About the Author
English novelist and playwright Wilkie Collins was a prolific writer with a body of work comprising thirty novels, over sixty short stories, more than a dozen plays, and a wide range of non-fiction pieces. Collins is best known for his novels The Woman in White, an early sensation novela genre combining shocking gothic horror with everyday domestic settingsand The Moonstone, which is credited as one of the first modern mystery novels. In the 1850s Collins met Charles Dickens and the two struck up a friendship, which lead to Collins becoming a frequent contributor to Dickens s journals Household Words and All the Year Round. Many of his stories have been adapted for film, including Basil, A Terribly Strange Bed, The Moonstone and The Woman in White. Collins died in 1889 at the age of 65.
A serious collector of Collins material for the last 20 years.
Review
'Anybody seriously interested in Victorian culture, particularly literary culture and Collins's place in it, will appreciate the materials collected here ... Highly recommended.' CHOICE 'Together with the 500 or so printed in William Baker and William M Clarke's 1999 two-volume edition, we now have all of Collins's known letters, some 3, 000 in total, in print...yet this is no dull collection of leftovers. Editorially, it is a much better work than its precursor, as Baker is joined by three new colleagues, Andrew Gasson, Graham Law and Paul Lewis, who have markedly improved both textual reliability and the quality of annotation, as well as correcting many mistakes of the earlier edition.'
