Autoren-Profil

Shipboard & Shoreline Mystery Stories, and Twelve American Crime Stories. She co-edited, with Tony Hillerman, The Oxford Book of American Detective Stories and A New Omnibus of Crime.

Judith John (glossary) is a writer and editor specializing in literature and
history. A former secondary school English Language and Literature
teacher, she has subsequently worked as an editor on major educational
projects, including English A: Literature for the Pearson International
Baccalaureate series. Judith’s major research interests include Romantic
and Gothic literature, and Renaissance drama.
Arthur Morrison (1863–1945) was born in the East End of London. He later became a writer for The Globe newspaper and showed a keen interest in relating the real and bleak plight of those living in London slums. When Arthur Conan Doyle killed off Sherlock Holmes in 1893, a vacuum opened up for detective heroes. In the wake Morrison created Martin Hewitt, publishing stories about him in The Strand Magazine, which had also first published Sherlock Holmes. Though a man with genius deductive skill, Morrison’s Hewitt character was the polar opposite to Holmes: genial and helpful to the police. He was perhaps the most popular of these new investigator fiction heroes.
