| Description: |
Volume Three of a two-volume work that reproduces around 700 key letters (out of 2000 known to be in existence) written by Wilkie Collins, the 19th-century novelist. Summaries and sources of the remaining letters are provided in an appendix. |
| Synopsis: |
Wilkie Collins is the only leading Victorian novelist whose letters have not been published. This two-volume edition, edited by Professor William Baker and William Clarke, will thus fill a gaping hole in any assessment of one of the nineteenth century's most loved novelists. It is also extremely timely. Two recent biographies have re-assessed his private life and his literary achievements. His best-known novels, The Woman in White and The Moonstone, continue to feature on television, and most of his thirty-odd novels are still in print. This authorized edition (one of the editors, William M. Clarke, is married to Collins's great-granddaughter) draws on the extensive public and private collection of Collins's letters scattered across the world - some revealed here for the first time. |
