Public Face of Wilkie Collins

All volumes edited by William Baker, Andrew Gasson, Graham Law and Paul Lewis.

'Anybody seriously interested in Victorian culture, particularly literary culture and Collins's place in it, will appreciate the materials collected here ... Highly recommended.' CHOICE 'Together with the 500 or so printed in William Baker and William M Clarke's 1999 two-volume edition, we now have all of Collins's known letters, some 3, 000 in total, in print...yet this is no dull collection of leftovers. Editorially, it is a much better work than its precursor, as Baker is joined by three new colleagues, Andrew Gasson, Graham Law and Paul Lewis, who have markedly improved both textual reliability and the quality of annotation, as well as correcting many mistakes of the earlier edition.'
