લેખક વિશે

Arthur Morrison (1863–1945) was an English author and journalist, most famous for his realistic novels and stories about working-class life in London's East End. Born in Poplar, Middlesex, Morrison began his career as a clerk and later transitioned into journalism and writing. He developed a reputation for his vivid depictions of slum life and the struggles of the poor, which he portrayed with psychological depth and a keen eye for detail. His work is often associated with the Naturalist movement, and he is seen as a significant figure in the tradition of British social realism. Notable works by Morrison include 'A Child of the Jago' (1896), which presents a gripping narrative of a rough neighborhood, and 'Tales of Mean Streets' (1894), a collection that explores various themes of poverty and survival. His foray into detective fiction, 'The Dorrington Deed-Box' (1897), is a series of short stories featuring the unethical detective Dorrington, and stands as a counterpoint to the more noble detectives like Sherlock Holmes, thus adding a layer of moral ambiguity to the genre. Morrison's writing is characterized by its narrative drive, atmospheric settings, and a compassionate, if brutally honest, portrayal of life in the lower strata of society. His contribution to English literature is remembered for its pioneering exploration of themes that were largely ignored by the writers of his time.
