English writer who is often regarded as the originator of detective fiction was born on 8 January 1824 in London. Unsuccessful at business and law, he preferred to write. In 1851, he began a close association with Charles Dickens, with whom he collaborated on the novel 'No Thoroughfare' (1867). Collins's mystery thriller 'The Woman in White' (1860) and the detective story The Moonstone (1868), which first appeared in periodicals edited by Dickens, are considered masterpieces of their respective genres. In both, although the greatest emphasis is placed on the construction of a plot designed to baffle the reader, characterization is also important. The vivid portrayal of Sergeant Cuff in The Moonstone is the first study in English fiction of a detective actually at work. Among Collins's other works are travel sketches, the historical romance Antonina, or the Fall of Rome (1850), the series of ghost stories After Dark (1856), and the novels No Name (1862) and Armadale (1866). His later fiction deals with social problems, mixed with elements of mystery and melodrama. He died on September 23, 1889, in London, (United Kingdom).
