Summary Wilkie Collins was an author who was not afraid to experiment with different styles, genres, and ideas. This book suggests that Collins' varied writings are best understood by approaches that take account of their great interdisciplinarity and intertextuality. It offers essays on texts that have had little or no critical attention
