As the inscription on his tombstone reveals, Wilkie Collins wanted to be remembered as the "author of The Woman in White," for it was this novel that secured his reputation during his lifetime.

The appendices include contemporary reviews, along with essays on lunacy, asylums, mesmerism, and the rights of women.…
