The biography highlights William Wilkie Collins as a pioneering English novelist and playwright, particularly noted for creating the first modern detective novel, The Moonstone. His early life in Italy and France enriched his linguistic skills, while his initial career as a tea merchant shifted after publishing his first novel, Antonina. Collins formed a significant friendship with Charles Dickens, who influenced his writing and published some of his works in his journals, leading to collaborative efforts in drama and fiction.
