Giới thiệu tác giả
Arthur Morrison (1863–1945) was a significant English writer and journalist renowned for his realistic narratives and vivid depiction of the London underbelly at the turn of the twentieth century. Morrison's oeuvre, while varied, remains most notable for contributions to the mystery and detective genre, such as those compiled in 'British Mystery Classics - Complete Collection'. His work proved instrumental in refining the genre and providing a more gritty, working-class perspective in contrast to the genteel detectives of the time. Beyond mysteries, Morrison's literary style encapsulated the essence of social realism, with his novel 'A Child of the Jago' (1896) hailed for its brutally honest portrayal of life within a Victorian slum. This novel, alongside his detective series featuring the character Martin Hewitt, solidified Morrison's place in literary history. Although his work was overshadowed by that of his contemporaries, modern scholars acknowledge his role in portrayals of crime and poverty and his stylized explorations of London's East End that laid ground for later literary inquiries into urban experiences. His stories were not merely for entertainment but were also employed as a vehicle for social commentary, reflecting a deep concern with the inequities of his age.
