Про автора
Arthur Morrison (1863-1945) was a renowned English writer and journalist, now best known for his contributions to the mystery and detective fiction genres, as well as his realistic stories that highlight the lives of the London poor. Born in the East End of London, Morrison’s firsthand experiences of urban poverty gave authenticity to his influential novel ‘A Child of the Jago’ (1896), which depicted the harsh conditions of slum life. His literary style often combined a keen eye for detail with a narrative potency that brought the darker corners of Victorian London to life. Morrison also made a significant mark with his creation of detective Martin Hewitt, whose adventures, eschewing the eccentricities of a certain famous Baker Street detective, offered a more down-to-earth approach to sleuthing and were compiled in several collections including ‘Martin Hewitt, Investigator’ (1894) and ‘The Chronicles of Martin Hewitt’ (1895). His anthology ‘ARTHUR MORRISON Ultimate Collection: 80+ Mysteries, Detective Stories & Supernatural Tales’ serves as a comprehensive testament to his output and variety, illustrating his versatility in traversing both the visceral urban landscape and the eerie realms of the supernatural. Morrison’s work remains a valuable lens through which we can view and understand the socio-cultural strata of late 19th and early 20th century Britain.
