Perihal pengarang
Wilkie Collins, born on January 8, 1824, in London, was a prominent English novelist, playwright, and short story writer. Known for his elements of suspense and mystery, he is often credited with the creation of the detective fiction genre and paved the way for sensation novels. Collins was a contemporary and close friend of Charles Dickens, with whom he collaborated on several works. Collins' writing style frequently involved tackling social issues and the intricacies of private guilt, as well as intricate plots and an adept use of the first-person narrative. His masterpiece, 'The Woman in White' (1859), is hailed for its compelling combination of romance, suspense, and Gothic horror, while 'The Moonstone' (1868) is considered one of the first modern English detective novels, greatly influencing the genre with its complex plot and the use of multiple perspectives. 'The Black Robe' (1881), although lesser-known, still resonates with Collins' usual thematic concerns, such as morality, the legal system, and personal identity. Collins suffered from gout and opium addiction, which impacted his health and, towards the end of his life, his writing. Nevertheless, his influence on literary styles and genres can still be felt today. Wilkie Collins passed away on September 23, 1889, leaving behind a legacy of work that continues to be studied and appreciated for its narrative innovation and psychological depth.
