Collins also began publishing in a variety of genres during this period, writing stories and travel narratives, essays and criticism, as well as his first four novels. During the 1850s, Collins and Dickens acted together in a number of prominent plays and collaborated on fiction and playwriting projects. His career took off in 1951 when he met and befriended Charles Dickens, who would later publish nearly all of Collins’s novels (including The Moonstone) in his weekly magazine All the Year Round, in the serial format common in Victorian England. Although he tried his hands at his father’s profession and later went to law school, his interest in writing grew during a stint doing clerical work in his late teens.
