Wilkie Collins and the Working-Class Readership
Claimed as the father and king of sensation novels,Wilkie Collins contributes to English literature history through his impressionistic works featured with sensational plots,typical characterization,gripping stories,and multiple perspectives.He is very concerned with the readership and aware of the mass working-class readers.Led by Collins,the thesis aims to explore the mutual interactive relationship between the evolution of the sensation genre and cultivation of working-class readership.Also,the influence of Collinss works on the newly rising readership comes into further discussion.
