Wilkie Collins was one of the most popular writers of the
nineteenth century. He is best known for The Woman in White, which

one of the first detective novels; but he wrote over 20 novels,
plays and short stories during a career that spanned four decades.
This Companion offers a fascinating overview of Collins's writing.
In a wide range of essays by leading scholars, it traces the
development of his career, his position as a writer and his complex
relation to contemporary cultural movements and debates. Collins's
exploration of the tensions which lay beneath Victorian society is
analysed through a variety of critical approaches. A chronology and
guide to further reading are provided, making this book an
indispensable guide for all those interested in Wilkie Collins and
his work.
