The plot of a detective story is based on the assumption that once the facts are discovered, the truth will come out and justice will be served. This thesis explores the interaction between truth and justice in Wilkie Collins’s The Moonstone and Charles Dickens’s Bleak House. While investigations may reveal the truth, this does not always lead to justice. Authors can uphold or deviate from traditional norms to reinforce or undermine the expectation that justice will be served. Keffeler 1 Truth and Justice in The Moonstone and Bleak House Introduction Victorians placed a high value on honesty. The cultural norm of the period was that people were expected to tell the truth (Kucich 6). There are many references by people such as Ralph Waldo Emerson and W. E. H. Lecky about how Victorians took pride in being candid and sincere. This emphasis on honesty led to moral values that placed great importance on the truth (Kucich 8).

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.

Literary studies have long critiqued Enlightenment Liberalism’s ideal of the rational individual whose disembodied qualities of mind supposedly allowed him to own property and represent the general interest. A search for alternative models of community has recently led scholars to argue that the Victorians, armed with breakthroughs in biology and psychology, embraced an anti-rationalistic theory that imagined human life as a materially embodied and de-individuated tangle of instincts and sensations.

Additionally, he may be recognized to be a critique of British imperialism especially in India through precise symbolism and numerous references to empire in The Moonstone (1868). This study attempts to analyze in what ways Wilkie Collins’s The Moonstone is considered as a criticism of imperialism in India. He provides a prominent insight into Victorian society with regards to imperialism by depicting the discrepancies between British and Indian identities, conditions, and using significant symbols deliberately in order to show these issues. His difference from his contemporaries in Victorian era is another focus of the article.
