Autor

Considered by many the founder of the crime novel, William Wilkie Collins (1824–89) was, unlike many of his peers, a great literary success within his own lifetime, even eclipsing the earnings of his mentor, Charles Dickens at one point. His fame was boosted by a certain notoriety for what many perceived as his scandalous and immoral private life.
