He left school at 17, and after an unhappy spell as a clerk in a tea broker's office, during which he wrote his first, unpublished novel, he entered Lincoln's Inn as a law student in 1846. He considered a career as a painter, but after the publication, in 1848, of his life of his father, and a novel, Antonina, in 1850, his future as a writer was assured. His meeting with Dickens in 1851 was perhaps the turning-point of his career. The two became collaborators and lifelong friends. Collins contributed to Dickens's magazines Household Words and All the Year Round, and his two best-known novels, The Woman in White and The Moonstone, were first published in All the Year Round. Collins's private life was as complex and turbulent as his novels. He never married, but lived with a widow, Mrs. Caroline Graves, from 1858 until his death. 520 8 $a He also had three children by a younger woman, Martha Rudd, whom he kept in a separate establishment. Collins suffered from 'rheumatic gout', a form of arthritis which made him an invalid in his later years, and he became addicted to the laudanum he took to ease the pain of the illness. He died in 1889. 651 0 $a England $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Married women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Bigamy $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Domestic fiction. 651 6 $a Angleterre $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a Femmes marieÌes $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a Bigamie $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a Roman familial. 650 7 $a Domestic fiction $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00896624 650 7 $a Bigamy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00831634 650 7 $a Married women. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01010701 651 7 $a England. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01219920 $1 https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJpYDdYvBpjXV6WpybK68C 653 0 $a English fiction 655 0 $a Domestic fiction. 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726589 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Page, Norman. 830 0 $a World's classics. 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0636/94025625-d.html 941 $a 1 952 $l UVAX975 $d 20240215011749.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0C7ABB90CBD011EEA85EE9E240ECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IWSInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
