    Extractions: Email: English novelist, credited with writing the first mystery. Wilkie (William) Collins was born in London on January 8, 1824. His father (also called William) was a landscape painter, but it seems his father had ambitions for his son outside the arts. Wilkie was first found a place in the tea trade, but displayed no aptitude for commerce. He then studied law at Lincoln's Inn, he was admitted to the bar in 1851 but didn't prosper here either. It was only when he started writing that he seemed to find his vocation. His first published work was written in memory of his father, who died in 1847. Memoirs of the Life of William Collins, Esq., R.A. was published in 1848. He started writing fiction shortly afterwards.

What was called at the time 'Sensation Fiction' is now studied for its influence on detective fiction and alliances to Gothic, though Trollope defended his friend against charges of anti-realism: "Truth let there be, - truth of description, truth of character, human truth as to men and women. If there be such truth, I do not know that a novel can be too sensational." In his lifetime, Collins was as feted as Dickens, with whom he collaborated in the theatre and on the magazines Household Words and All the Year Round; since then his reputation has waned, although TV adaptations have recently resparked interest. The Moonstone is often cited as the first work to contain all the elements of twentieth-century detective fiction: country houses, inside jobs, foolish local policemen, eccentric investigators, et al.

    Extractions: E scritor inglés a quien se atribuye la creación de la novela de detectives. Nació en Londres. Se dedicó a escribir después de haberle ido mal tanto en los negocios como en la abogacía. En 1851 comenzó una fructífera colaboración con Charles Dickens, con el que escribió la novela No Thoroughfare (1867). Su novela de misterio La dama vestida de blanco (1860) y la de detectives La piedra lunar (1868), que apareció por primera vez en revistas dirigidas por Dickens, están consideradas obras maestras en sus respectivos géneros. Aunque en ambas se da más importancia a la construcción de una trama diseñada para confundir al lector, los personajes son también importantes. El retrato realista del sargento Cuff en La piedra lunar constituye la primera exposición en la narrativa inglesa de un detective en su trabajo. Además, Collins escribió notas de viajes, el romance histórico Antonina o la caída de Roma (1850), los cuentos de fantasmas de Al caer la noche (1856) y las novelas Sin nombre (1862) y Armadale (1866). Su última obra aborda problemas sociales, mezclando elementos de misterio con melodrama. El escritor argentino Jorge Luis Borges fue quien rescató del olvido la obra de Collins, considerándolo como una de sus mayores influencias literarias. ©

    Extractions: Collins, William Wilkie (1824-1889) Englischer Schriftsteller. Er gilt neben Arthur Conan Doyle als Begründer bzw. erster erfolgreicher Vertreter des Detektivromans innerhalb der englischen Literatur. Collins wurde am 8. Januar 1824 als ältester Sohn des Landschaftsmalers William Collins (1788-1847) in London geboren und verbrachte seine Kindheit u. a. in Hampstead sowie - zwischen 1836 und 1838 - in Italien. Zunächst arbeitete er für einen Teehändler; 1843 erschien als erste Publikation unter eigenem Namen "The Last Stage Coachman" im Illuminated Magazine . Seit 1851 betätigte sich Collins als Schauspieler; im gleichen Jahr begann seine enge Freundschaft mit Charles Dickens , mit dem gemeinsam er Reisen in die Schweiz und nach Italien unternahm und an dem Roman "No Thoroughfare" (1867; im gleichen Jahr dramatisiert) arbeitete. Sein Kriminalroman "The Woman in White" "Die Frau in Weiß" ) und der Detektivroman "The Moonstone" "Der Monddiamant" , auch: "Der Mondstein" ), der zunächst als Fortsetzungsgeschichte in der von Dickens herausgegebenen Familienzeitschrift All the Year Round erschien, gelten als Meisterwerke ihrer jeweiligen Gattung. Obgleich der Schwerpunkt auf der Gestaltung der Handlung liegt, deren Intension es ist, den Leser zu verblüffen, kommt in beiden Werken auch der psychologischen Beschreibung der Figuren und der Erzeugung von Atmosphäre große Bedeutung zu. Interessant ist auch die Schilderung der Ereignisse aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven.
