Sobre el autor

Arthur Morrison (1863-1945) was a prominent English writer and journalist known for his realistic portrayal of the working-class life in London’s East End. His literary works encompass the late Victorian and early Edwardian period, and Morrison’s contribution to the English literature spans multiple genres including detective fiction, social realism, and speculative dark fantasy. Perhaps his most distinguished creation is the fictional detective Martin Hewitt, who appears in a series of short stories collected in volumes such as ‘Martin Hewitt, Investigator’ (1894) and ‘The Chronicles of Martin Hewitt’ (1895). Morrison’s Hewitt is often seen as an everyman’s answer to Sherlock Holmes, providing a more grounded and human detective character. Beyond detective fiction, Morrison’s ‘A Child of the Jago’ (1896) stands as a poignant social novel that exposes the squalid living conditions of the London slums and offers a stark critique of the societal ills of the time. His passion for social reform through literature is evident throughout his works. The ‘Arthur Morrison Ultimate Collection’ serves as a testament to his versatility as a writer, presenting 80+ stories that highlight his narrative prowess across mysteries, detective tales, and the darker realms of fantasy. His approach to storytelling was marked by terse prose and a keen observational eye, features that have earned him a respected place in the canon of English literature.
