Wilkie Collins (1824-1889) was an early expert of secret and tension, composing such works of art as The Moonstone, The Woman dressed in White, and Basil. Antonina, or, The Fall of Rome was his previously distributed novel, a beautiful story of old Rome. Of this work, Collins stated: "To the invented characters alone is submitted the assignment of addressing the soul of the age. The Roman head, Honorius, and the Gothic ruler, Alaric, blend however little by and by occupied with the story-just showing up in such occasions, and acting under such conditions, as the records of history carefully approve yet precise truth in regard to time, spot, and situation is seen in each authentic occasion presented in the plot, from the time of the walk of the Gothic trespassers over the Alps to the end of the primary brute barricade 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
