The Inspiration for "A Tale of Two Cities"By California FreethinkerThis is a short, bizarre story about two men who love the same woman. In his preface to "A Tale of Two Cities," Dickens claimed he got the original idea for the novel from this story, which he and Wilkie Collins adapted for their amateur theatrical group. I have read elsewhere that the two men collaborated on the prose tale also. If you love "A Tale of Two Cities"--it is one of my very favorite novels--I recommend this chilling tale as an example of how a genius can make a silk purse out of a piece of blubber.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Slushie at BestBy storyteller312All the other books I have read by Wilkie Collins had great stories with twists and turns, peppered with unexpected events and multi-layered characters. Although, this book was beautifully written as I had expected, the story never built up to more than a very predictable conclusion.Since Wilkie Collins has so many wonderful books to his credit, I would go to one of them before The Frozen Deep.The Woman in White, Basil, The Moonstone, or A Rogue's Life all presented more reading entertainment.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. The Frozen DeepBy Kindle CustomerA short but wonderful story of love from woman to man but more important the love of one man to another man at the time of his peril in the giving of his life for another. This book has a woman that has the power of seeing things far away. The story takes place in England and the frozen north of Newfoundland, it is a great read.

Covert Female Power Mediating Identity in Wilkie Collins' The
Covert Female Power Mediating Identity in Wilkie Collins’ The Moonstone Sydney Wildman Wilkie Collins’ text The Moonstone is a quintessential detective story which involves the theft of a precious diamond within a dynamic and complex family. The tale is recounted through shifting the narration between numerous characters. On the surface, the story is simple: the infamous Moonstone diamond has been stolen from Rachel Verinder, the heroine of the story. Her love interest, Franklin Blake serves as the hero, acting as the catalyst for the mystery’s narration as he asks the characters to recount “the story of the Moonstone… as far as our personal experience extends, and no farther”.1 He is responsible for piecing the narrative together, while also providing a substantial portion of the novel from his perspective. Indeed, Blake seems determined to solve the mystery. However, the detection work within the novel becomes more complex than a singular search for the diamond. Anne-Marie Beller argues that while “detection is a necessary quest to find the truth, meaning, and stability”2, the detection is not “merely concerned with finding out the truth about others, but more crucially about oneself”.3 Therefore, with Blake at the forefront of the detection, the process develops into a trajectory of self-discovery. Considering Blake’s contradictory sense of self, the mystery instead becomes a narrative about Blake’s identity shift from hero to thief. However, he is unable to uncover his identity alone. Instead, it is the covert forms of power that lower- and upper-class women hold – Rosanna Spearman and Rachel Verinder, respectively – that mediate Blake’s identity shift.

Wilkie Collins, a Biography
CHAPTER EIGHT Caroline AT the age of thirty-five Wilkie Collins seemed to have settled down to the life of a bachelor in premature middle- age, or so our limited knowledge of his private circum- stances would suggest. Most of his time, apart from an occasional yachting expedition or holiday abroad, had been spent in the comfortable surroundings of his mother's house. He liked to dine out, even more to entertain his friends; he was a keen theatregoer and liked to listen to music. In fact he enjoyed the normal pleasures of Victorian middle-class society, and above all he enjoyed work. As for his emotional life up to this point, any attempt to outline it must be based largely on conjecture. There is no direct evidence. Mention has been made of a serious attach- ment some ten years earlier as the possible genesis of Basil, but the details remain a mystery. If indeed Wilkie was involved in a love-affair that bore some resemblance to Basil's violent passion for Margaret Sherwin, this would only be consistent with a strange infatuation of his child- hood. When he was only twelve years old he conceived a passionate affection for a married woman three times his age. So intense was his jealousy of the woman's husband that he could not bear to be in the same room, and ran away whenever he saw him approaching. The story is told in a brief critical study of Wilkie Collins published in Germany in 1885.f Since Wilkie was alive at the time and \Wilkie Collins: Ein biographisch-kritisch versuch.

No Thoroughfare: a Drama [Correct First Edition] – by Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins (1867)
No Thoroughfare: A Drama [correct first edition] – by Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins (1867) A carefully-posed cast photo showing Joey Ladle (Benjamin Webster), Sally Goldstraw (Mrs. Alfred Mellon), George Vendale (Henry G. Neville), Jules Obenreizer (Charles Albert Fechter), Marguerite (Carlotta Leclercq), Walter Wilding (John Billington), and Bintrey (George G. Belmore). Foreword What was the most successful play Dickens worked on? How much did he contribute to it? And, why has text of the play gone unseen until today? The first question has an easy answer—the most successful play claiming Dickens as playwright was No Thoroughfare . The piece was a dramatization of the short story of the same name, which had appeared in the Christmas Number of All the Year Round the same year . The Christmas Story and the play are always credited to “Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins”, but the drama was, in fact, written almost entirely by Collins, working under Dickens’s long-distance supervision. Also assisting in the adaptation was the actor Charles Albert Fechter, a mutual friend to the two authors, whose role as the villainous Obenreizer would be the great hit of the performance. A letter from Dickens to an American publisher tells how he initiated events (1 Nov 1867): I will bring you out the early proof of the Xmas No. We publish it here on the 12th. of December. I am planning it out into a play for Wilkie Collins to manipulate after I sail, and have arranged for Fechter to go to the Adelphi Theatre and play a Swiss in it.

Still, there are similarities in the plots of the three characters in both books. If a reader has read A Tale of Two Cities, he or she will see similarities. Characters construct wooden huts and beds and wear nightclothes, women wear veils; men lost in the north keep to the social hierarchy, even when starving and complaining of the cold, and go in search of local townships on the frozen deep. Continue on UK site. The introductory Overture, compact in form and brilliant in character, is marked throughout by skill, taste, and feeling; we may note particularly a duet for Violoncello and Flute, felicitously intimating the tender and pathetic elements of the story, and written with unmistakable affection and the true sympathy of a sister Art. After leaving school at fifteen, Dickens started work as an office boy, but soon taught himself shorthand and entered journalism as a parliamentary reporter. Sign up and get a free eBook! On the other hand, Oscar Wilde, Henry James, and Virginia Woolf complained of a lack of psychological depth, loose writing, and a vein of saccharine sentimentalism. Average rating 3. With his strength and his temper, we understand that if Wardour ever finds out who that man is, he is as good as dead.

Lisa Mathews: Crime and Subversion in the Later Fiction of Wilkie Collins Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. October 1990 Abstract Although some good work on Collins is now beginning to emerge, complex and central elements in his fiction require fuller exploration. More consideration is due to the development of Collins's thinking and fictional techniques in the lesser-known novels, since out of a total of thirty-four published works most have received scant attention from scholars. This is particularly true of the later fiction.

The Swiss Alps and Character Framing in No Thoroughfare Samia Ounoughi (LERMA EA 853) When he wrote No Thoroughfare with Wilkie Collins, Dickens insisted that the climax of the novel took place in the Simplon Pass, in other words, in one of the most dangerous No Thoroughfares in Europe. By 1867, when the novel was published, Dickens had witnessed and experienced major changes in Britain. A new economic order was defining new rules in society and progress in rail transportation massively spread travelling. From then on, not only would people travel to settle somewhere else for good or at least for a long period of time, the growing number of businessmen rendered travelling Europe and the world part of their daily life. Considering these major evolutions, character framing in fiction writing was also to change.

Reconsidering the Unknown Public
DRAFT Chapter One Reconsidering the Unknown Public A Puzzle of Literary Gains Simon Frost [1.0] In 1858, in an article of the same name for Household Words, Wilkie Collins discovered an “Unknown Public.” The literary preferences of this unknown public—poor, in his estimation—were a mystery to him, but he credited those readers with an emancipatory curiosity and predicted they would en- lighten themselves along a path beginning, he suggested, with Scott’s Kenil- worth and ending with the “very best men among living English writers”: including, by implication, Wilkie Collins. 1 A later solution to the puzzle of who this unknown public might be, suggested by Thomas Wright in 1883 for The Nineteenth Century,2 would have come as a surprise to Collins, but not so surprising as the implication I hope to draw out in this chapter. Collins shared the idea of a hierarchy of literatures that persists today, in which reading ought naturally to gravitate toward the “best” literature. From this perspective, any attempt to understand the experience of the poorest litera- ture would seem as perverse as any active resistance to best. From this perspective, the reading habits of the unknown public might just as well remain unknown. But from another perspective, the puzzle opens up to a different way of understanding literature, from the “poorest” to the “best.” Collins’s failure to guess the true identity of the unknown public was not simply a literary or a cultural-political one, enmeshed as he was in specific structures of literary cultural capital, but it was also a failure of method; of failing to realize that literature, for many readers, can stray beyond the liter- ary and into areas of personal gain where, perhaps worryingly for literary scholars at least, the discourse best placed to articulate those gains is eco- nomics.
