Sobre o autor
Guy Thorne was the pseudonym of Cyril Arthur Edward Justice Waggoner Ranger Gull (1876–1923), an English novelist and journalist known for his prolific contributions to early twentieth-century popular fiction. Born into a naval family, Gull’s literary career was one of marked versatility, underpinned by his skill as a storyteller. Graduating from the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, Gull initially pursued a military career but soon shifted his focus to writing, his true passion. Guy Thorne’s works often incorporated elements of mystery, romance, and adventure, but were also not devoid of sociopolitical commentary, as evident in his novel ‘The Socialist.’ This book stands as a testament to Thorne’s engagement with the political issues of his time, interweaving a narrative that explores themes such as social inequality and class struggle through a gripping plotline. His ability to craft narratives that were both popular and thought-provoking allowed Guy Thorne to leave an indelible mark on Edwardian fiction. His literary style was characterized by a straightforward, often sensational approach, aiming to captivate the reader’s attention rather than challenging them with literary experimentation. Despite a career that was cut short by his untimely death at the age of 47, Thorne’s extensive bibliography, which includes numerous serialized stories as well as novels like ‘The Socialist, ‘ continues to be of interest to scholars studying the social and cultural trends of his era.
