Er sollte zu einem der popul rsten Autoren seiner Zeit werden. Seine bekanntesten Werke sind Die Frau in Wei  und Der Monddiamant. Beide Romane w rde man heute als Mystery Thriller oder im Fall von The Moonstone als Detective Novel bezeichnen, und man kann Wilkie Collins mit einigem Recht als einen der Begr nder dieser Genres sehen. Das Sp twerk The Haunted Hotel stellt einen sich von der Masse durch seinen psychologischen Gehalt und die m glicherweise erste Darstellung von Hirntod in der englischsprachigen Literatur abhebenden Beitrag zur viktorianischen Novel of Sensation dar. Mit seinem Roman Gesetz und Frau schrieb er den ersten Kriminalroman der Literaturgeschichte mit einem weiblichen Detektiv.

His sensitive presentation of the difficulties, disappointments, and occasional delights which follow the recovery of sight by someone blind since infancy is still one of the best accounts in fiction of a problem which continues to intrigue philosophers, psychologists, and the general public, as it has done since it was first discussed by Locke and Berkeley in the eighteenth century. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Series: \u003c\/strong\u003e For over 100 years \u003cstrong\u003eOxford World's Classics \u003c\/strong\u003ehas made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.
