Remembering the work of Wilkie Collins

January 8 marked the 200th anniversary of the birth of Victorian author Wilkie Collins, whose thrillers like The Woman in White and The Moonstone still capture readers with their plot twists and sympathetic characters. To celebrate, the Special Collections Reading Room features a small exhibit of first editions of these two novels as well as other books and short stories by Collins. “Sensational Stuff: The Writing of Wilkie Collins” will be on display for the month of January.
