It's so exciting when you discover a great writer for the first time - I just finished "The Woman In White" and have totally fallen in love with Wilkie Collins. I cannot wait to read all of his books! He has such an original and mesmerizing style, and creates the most fascinating characters! ❤
I have 24 volumes of the 30 volume set of the works of Wilkie Collins published by P.F. Collier in 1890. I have read The Woman in White, The moonstone, Armadale, No Name, The Fallen Leaves, The Black Robe, The Two Destinies, Basil, The Haunted Hotel, Heart and Science, and Guilty River. Am currently re-reading The Two Destinies. I have read The Woman in White, The Moonstone, and Armadale all more than once.
If you are interested in Wilkie Collins, don’t miss “Drood” by Dan Simmons. One of my top 3 all-time favorite historical fiction novels. The entire book is written from Wilkie’s first person perspective. I have read it again and again, and it’s no small book!
I discovered the works of Wilkie Collins two years ago - today I see him as one of the best mystery, crime and adventure writers of the Victorian age. I especially enjoyed the constant change of perspective as well as the wonderful character of Gabriel Betteredge in the "Moonstone" - a real crime writing gem, inspired by the actual Road Hill House murder case of 1860. I also very much liked "The Frozen Deep", a stage play about a fictional version of the doomed Franklin expedition of 1845, which I tracked down online after seeing it mentioned in the also highly entertaining novel "Drood" by Dan Simmons. As ebooks, almost all of Collins writings can be found online today either for free or for a very small price, making him one of the most easily accessible Victorian authors.
+Christian Reinboth Thank you for your thoughtful comment! Yes, I've gotten a bunch of Collins' ebooks from gutenberg.com, and now my TBR is even bigger! Usually a book with multiple POVs will get on my nerves, but Collins writes it so well that I really loved it in the MoonStone. happy Reading!
I have read The Woman In White and near the halfway point in The Moonstone. I'm also reading a biography of Wilkie Collins. I agree with your assessment. He has quickly moved up to one of my favorite authors. I, too, plan on reading many more of his books. That was how I found your video, searching for a video on Wilkie Collins.
So glad that I found your post! I love WC, too!! Every book of his that I have read, I have completely enjoyed -- such a magnificent author. I am with you on wanting to read all of 25 of his novels -- I've only read 5 or 6...gotta get back to WC!
I'm reading The Moonstone, I've read The Woman In White and I'm writing my bachelor thesis about The Law and The Lady. I think Collins was an absolute genius and he deserves much more popularity.
+Alessandro B. Awesome! I think I'll probably read Law and the Lady next, or at least... it's way up there on my TBR. I agree, Collins is a genius, and I love his work!
We LOVE Collin’s The Moonstone! And if you want to see it as a modern webseries, head over to our channel! We’d love to welcome you into the mystery! 💛
I read The Woman in White last year, I had never even heard of Wilkie Collins before! It quickly became one of my top five books OF ALL TIME. I think it's absolutely brilliant! I have recommended it to several people, all of whom now fall into the "Wilkie Collins Fan Club." I find him so much more readable than Dickens- can't wait to read more!
Discovered Moonstone the year between 8th grade and highschool on the summer reading list and was instantly hooked.read all I could find and eventually (years later) my husband got me a complete set which I devoured. I envy you the chance to read them all again, Basil was another one of the best. His female characters rock
That's funny; I didn't like Basil very much. I felt the characters were weak, and they frustrated me in so many way! haha! But the writing is good, of course. So far that is the only Collins book that I have not given 5 stars. Happy REading!
just watched your Radcliffe and your Collins videos. So glad to see that you are a fan of these two wonderful writers. I first read Radcliffe after reading The Castle of Otranto by Horace Walpole. I have since read all but Gaston de Blondeville [tbr]. My first Collins was The Moonstone, and I think I have made it through all the Collins fiction. I find many similarities between Rad. and Col. - but for me the kicker is (along with Dickens and Shakespeare (and Nabokov and Umberto Eco*)) their magnificent ability construct a sentence. I'm sure that I could fall in love with their writing if I didn't speak any english, AND just listened to someone reading them. (*in their native tongues.) Thanks for giving these two their due. P.S. Don't overlook the Collins short stories... they are GREAT.
Thanks for posting. Loved The Woman in White - long and riveting! Kept me up half the night listening to the excellent audiobook version on Librivox. So many interesting insights into the 19th century without all the syrup and pontification of Charles Dickens. Looking forward to the next 34.
+Bill King I love that you describe Dickens writing as "syrup"! That is exactly his writing style, lots of descriptive icing on the cake until you can barely see the cake anymore. haha! Thanks for commenting!
+Books for MKs LOL. I think it's about time people who don't like Dickens come out of the closet and show the world how many of us there are! I hear the Queen doesn't even care for him.
I love Collins's books! I've read The Moonstone, No Name and The Wreck of the Golden Mary (also written partly by Dickens and a few other authors). I love both Dickens and Collins but I like that Collins uses more morally ambiguous and complex characters and situations than Dickens does.
Loved this video - I have found a somewhat recent adoration of Wilkie Collins and was surprised to see that all the books of his I've read are the same ones on your video! I've read The Woman in White (just incredible), Basil, After Dark, The Dead Secret, and The Moonstone. I'm currently halfway through No Name so I skipped that part of the video in the slim chance there were spoilers, haha :).
You don't have to worry about spoilers in my videos. I rarely say any spoilers, and if I do say spoilers then there is ample warning and some sort of pause before the spoiler part. I haven't read After Dark yet! Woman in White is still my favorite. Basil is NOT a favorite. I got so frustrated with the main character. He's too naive.
I really enjoyed After Dark, it's a relatively quick read compared to the others I've read (if I remember correctly). I actually liked Basil because it found it pretty easy to digest, but I do agree that the main character was a dolt :). I thought The Moonstone was a really great story but it took some work to keep ahold of all the details, I forget so many of them now!
Good video. I read TWIW several months ago. It was not my cup of tea, although the suspense was killing. I liked the Mr Fairlie character the most, the hypochondriac, old queen. I expect Basil rhymes with dazzle if it's the boy's name.
*gasp* I love The Woman in White! I read it for the first time back in high school (I was going through an obsession with Barnes and Noble classics) and re-read it a couple of years ago. I've had some of his other works for quite a while but I have yet to read them (The Moonstone, The Law and the Lady, and The Dead Secret). I'm thinking about maybe collecting all of his works and then binge-reading them. Who is your favorite character from 'The Woman in White'? I've always loved Marian.
englicanme I think all of them are my favorite characters in the Woman in White, even the villains! They are all so interesting and perfectly written; you can really imagine each of them as real people. Thanks for your comment! Please let me know how you like The Law and the Lady! I need to download that one to my Kindle.
I want to read this author's novels. I have never heard of this author even though i love Victorian novels. I am surprised i haven't heard of him. Good reviews. Thank you.
I just read the Moonstone & I gave it a 4 outta 5 on Amazon cuz it seemed a bit slow to start. I did find myself really enjoying it & liked the narrative style. Thanks for the suggestions of other books by Collins to read. They sound intriguing & I do plan on reading more of his books.
Yes, I think you are right about that .... I downloaded WIW this afternoon & enjoying it tremendously ... nothing like a good read!! I also got No Name to follow up! Happy New Year!! :)
There was an episode of the 1960's Outer Limits TV series which also had the title "The Moonstone". This was a really good science fiction/fantasy story about an entity which lived in a sphere on the moon. I don't think it had any relationship to the book that was reviewed here. The title is interesting, although they are very different stories. I'm not sure if there were any legal problems with Wilkie Collins and the people who made Outer Limits so many years ago.. The book sounds interesting too. :)
I've read all those books, now I'm reading, "Antonina, of, The Fall of Rome", which is supposed to have been his first effort, and I don't believe it was published till near the end of his life or posthumously. "Basil" was his first published work.
I enjoyed your video. I loved the Moonstone and the Woman in white. I also love Dickens. Dickens saw himself as belonging to the Regency period rather than the Victorian one, an earlier period. He would have been 25 at the start of the Victorian age. The Moonstone was made into a BBC five part series back in 2016. It was really good and I'd recommend it. It captures the time well. It's not one of those serials that they set in the old days and have people with modern views to appeal to the audience. The Woman in White was made recently by the BBC. It was good but here and there a bit modern. I hope to read The Moonstone over Christmas. I have read The woman in white and The lady and the law.
For anyone, but especially younger people who are discovering the thrills of 18th and 19th century literature, I would highly recommend Arnold Bennett's "Literary Taste: How to Form It" and its extensive bibliography.
I love Collins. I really enjoyed the woman in white, but liked the moonstone less. I have also read no name, poor Miss finch. I am currently reading heart & science. I Armadale is the next I will try. I hope to read all of his works, in time.
Hi Kailey, fun review. I agree with your thoughts about Collins, and also enjoy his novels immensely. Look for Dover Publications editions: they specialize in reviving out-of-print novels, and several of their Wilike Collins titles are the first re-print in more than a century of the texts. Some of them are sourced from Dickens' Cornhill or All the World Round serial publications from the Victorian age. They are high quality paperbacks which are sewn, not glued together. I want to bring to your attention, if you're not aware, of Dan Simmons outstanding historical fiction/mystery novel 'Drood'. It interlaces together Dickens and Collins friendship, personalities, and the enigma of the Dickens great unfinished novel.
K ROBSON Thanks for the recommendations! I will definitely look for those. What is your fave Collins' novel? I can't decide; there are so many good ones!
Books for MKs It's a toss for me between 'The Woman in White', and 'The Dead Secret'; but it is hard to choose just a couple. Right now I'm reading 'Tales of Terror and the Supernatural' which a collection of Collins' short fiction. You should check out J. Sheridan LeFanu as well. If you like Collins and Dickens, he'll soon be another favourite.
Hello I have a question based in your experience. I am a literature teacher and I teach English Victorian Era. Which Wilkie's novel suggest me for my class thanks. Love your content.
Aw, I'm sorry you didnt' enjoy Moonstone. But I'm glad you are trying some of his other books! To each his own, and I think Collins has a lot of different stories that will appeal to a wide range of people. Happy Reading!
so late commenting here but my first exposure to the Woman in White story was when I heard the soundtrack to the ALW musical back in HS and I loved it so much that it has become my 2nd favorite of his musicals (first being Phantom of the Opera 😃). After hearing it, I immediately went out and bought the book and of course am only just now getting around to reading it lol. I am trying to read it this week and am sure I will love it 😃 Afterwards I plan on watching the 98 film adaptation and listen to the soundtrack again and I cannot recommend the musical highly enough (I may have recommended it before, if so, sorry I recommend it to so many people that I forget who I have already mentioned it to lol).😃 I also own the Moonstone and want to read it next October 😃
the whole playlist should be up on RUclips if you're interested 😃 just search Andrew Lloyd Webber Woman in White musical and try to find the playlist that includes the Opening Night version of You Can Get Away With Anything because Michael Crawford's performance as Count Fosco is amazing!😃
oh and I checked my library and the only other WC novel they have aside from WIW and Moonstone is No Name so perfect that that was the other major work you mentioned here and it is definitely going on my library TBR list 😃
The long 'a' sound in Basil is used for the herb. The Short "a' is used in the man's name.Nice review. Basil was actually the first Wilke Collins novel I read. Then Man and Wife which is super interesting because it concerns the plight of women and strange marriage laws.
I haven't read Man and Wife yet, but it's on my TBR! I've already read Basil now! I didn't like Basil much. He's too weak and easily manipulated. I wish he had more backbone or street smarts or something! Still... it's very well-written. It made me care about the characters!Happy REading!
actually I am a university student and i have to do a presentation for 20 minutes about Wilkie Collins, and i found that you have put beneficial information and your accent would help a little bit
"If you liked Dickens, I can guarantee you will love Collins".(5:52)
If you hate Dickens, I can guarantee that you will love Collins even more.
Agreed. I like Dickens but Collins is so much more accessible with the language he uses and such great stories/characters.
It's so exciting when you discover a great writer for the first time - I just finished "The Woman In White" and have totally fallen in love with Wilkie Collins. I cannot wait to read all of his books! He has such an original and mesmerizing style, and creates the most fascinating characters! ❤

What about Haunted Hotel. A mystery of Modern venice.? I read it yesterday just finished in one day. Found it obstinately thrilling.

Wilkie Collins wrote Masterpieces.I enjoyed Woman in White and Moonstone,like you,I desire to read more of
