Résumé

The "Complete Works of Wilkie Collins" is a monumental collection that encompasses the full range of Collins's literary output, including his celebrated novels, gripping short stories, enlightening essays, and theatrical works. Known for pioneering the detective genre, Collins masterfully intertwines suspense and social commentary within his narratives. His distinctive style blends vivid characterization with intricate plotting, employing a rich tapestry of narrative techniques, including unreliable narrators and multiple perspectives, all set against the backdrop of Victorian society, where issues of social class and gender are deftly explored.
Wilkie Collins (1824-1889) was a contemporary of Charles Dickens and a prominent figure in the Victorian literary scene. His personal experiences, such as living with chronic illness and navigating complex familial relationships, deeply informed his writing. Collins's friendships with notable literary figures and his keen interest in the burgeoning fields of psychology and sociology are reflected in his works, offering modern readers both entertainment and profound insights into human nature.
This comprehensive anthology is an essential acquisition for literary enthusiasts and scholars alike, as it not only preserves Collins's artistic legacy but also illuminates the socio-cultural dynamics of 19th-century England. Readers are invited to delve into the ingenuity of Collins's storytelling, where every story unravels a compelling narrative, encouraging reflection on morality and society. In this enriched edition, we have carefully created added value for your reading experience: - A comprehensive Introduction outlines these selected works' unifying features, themes, or stylistic evolutions. - The Author Biography highlights personal milestones and literary influences that shape the entire body of writing. - A Historical Context section situates the works in their broader era-social currents, cultural trends, and key events that underpin their creation. - A concise Synopsis (Selection) offers an accessible overview of the included texts, helping readers navigate plotlines and main ideas without revealing critical twists. - A unified Analysis examines recurring motifs and stylistic hallmarks across the collection, tying the stories together while spotlighting the different work's strengths. - Reflection questions inspire deeper contemplation of the author's overarching message, inviting readers to draw connections among different texts and relate them to modern contexts. - Lastly, our hand-picked Memorable Quotes distill pivotal lines and turning points, serving as touchstones for the collection's central themes.
