The Wilkie Collins Society was formed during 1980 to promote interest in the life and works of this important nineteenth century author. Apart from The Moonstone and The Woman in White which are both well known, he wrote numerous other novels, short stories, plays and essays. His books have attracted readers for more than a century and his unconventional lifestyle has intrigued the literary world for nearly as long.

The Society hosts two websites, The Wilkie Collins Journal, the home for the academic texts on the author which will be launched shortly and this one the home for the The Wilkie Collins Society.
