Wilkie Collins (1824-1889) was an early master of mystery and suspense, writing such classics as The Moonstone, The Woman in White, and Basil. Antonina, or, The Fall of Rome was his first published novel, a colorful tale of ancient Rome. Of this work, Collins wrote: "To the fictitious characters alone is committed the task of representing the spirit of the age. The Roman emperor, Honorius, and the Gothic king, Alaric, mix but little personally in the business of the story-only appearing in such events, and acting under such circumstances, as the records of history strictly authorize-but exact truth in respect to time, place, and circumstance is observed in every historical event introduced in the plot, from the period of the march of the Gothic invaders over the Alps to the close of the first barbarian blockade of Rome."

A romance of the fifth century, in which many of the scenes described in the 'Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire ' are reset to suit the purpose of the author. Only two historical personages are introduced into the story, - the Emperor Honorius, and Alaric the Goth; and these attain only a secondary importance. Among the historical incidents used are the arrival of the Goths at the gates of Rome, the Famine, the last efforts of the besieged, the Treaty of Peace, the introduction of the Dragon of Brass, and the collection of the ransom, - most of these accounts being founded on the chronicles of Zosimus. This book does not show the intricacy of plot and clever construction of the author's modern society stories; but it is full of action, vivid in color, and sufficiently close to history to convey a dramatic sense of the Rome of Honorius and the closing-in of the barbarian

Antonina was Collins's first revealed novel, dedicated to lady Chantrey, wife of William Collins's friend, the sculptor Sir Francis Legatt Chantrey (1791-1841). Antonina was begun in april 1846, delayed for a year throughout the writing of The Memoirs of William Collins, R.A., and revealed in 1850. it is written in a laborious, deliberately flamboyant vogue victimization detail from Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the empire and modelled on Bulwer-Lytton's The Last Days of Pompeii (1834). The plot is challenging, with several passages reading sort of a cross between a guide book to ancient Rome (based on Collins's visit in 1837) and an outline of his father's paintings. different sections, significantly the a lot of horrific and violent, square measure vividly written and there square measure already indications of Collins's interest in physical handicap and abnormal states of mind, and his dislike of all varieties of extremism. The conflict between the ingenious and inventive Antonina and her stern father is reworked to higher impact in Collins's next novel, Basil. Antonina received sensible reviews, sold consistently and was reprinted throughout Collins's period and well into the twentieth century.
