Об авторе

Charles Reade (1814–1884) was a prolific English author and dramatist, noted for his powerful storytelling abilities and keen interest in social issues. Reade’s literary style often blended realism with melodrama, and his novels frequently tackled contemporary topics, including the injustices of Victorian society. With a passion for authenticity, he performed copious research, which earned him a reputation for detailed settings and intricate plots. Among his works, ‘Foul Play’ stands out as a compelling narrative that reflects his skill in weaving suspense and moral complexities into his fiction. Reade’s versatility as a writer is evident through his various other works, such as ‘The Cloister and the Hearth, ‘ which is frequently cited as his masterpiece, and ‘Hard Cash, ‘ which, like many of his novels, criticized social institutions by exposing their flaws. Though less known today, Reade’s works had a significant impact on Victorian literature, and his advocacy for social reform through his writings parallels the endeavors of his contemporaries Dickens and Trollope. While his novels were immensely popular in his own time, modern readers may also find his dedication to social issues and his storytelling flair to be both engaging and of historical interest.
