  • "Master storyteller Wilkie Collins is known for his tightly plotted novels, which often have plots drawn from historical events. This engrossing romance, set against the backdrop of ancient Rome as it was poised on the brink of collapse, is Collins' first novel and a fitting introduction to his body of work."@en
  • "Collins' Antonina is one of his more difficult works. The plot involves the conflict between old and new religions as well as a struggles between a father and his daughter."@en
  • "About his first published novel, a colorful tale of ancient Rome, Wilkie Collins wrote: “To the fictitious characters alone is committed the task of representing the spirit of the age...from the period of the march of the Gothic invaders over the Alps to the close of the first barbarian blockade of Rome. This is the story of a young woman named Antonia, who was unfortunate enough to live in Rome during Gothic terror."
