Excerpt from Dickens, Reade, and Collins Sensation Novelists: A Study in the Conditions and Theories of Novel Writing in Victorian EnglandDickens once condemned a doctrinaire preface by his friend Collins on the principle that a book of all things ought to stand by itself. Such admirable sense, it seems, ought to be heeded generally, especially by those who from time to time with great labor perpetrate books about better books.
