Arthur Morrison
Arthur Morrison (1863–1945) was an English writer best known for his realistic portrayal of the lives of the working class in London's East End. His most famous works include "A Child of the Jago" and "Tales of Mean Streets," which depict poverty and crime with stark, vivid detail. Morrison was also known for his detective fiction, particularly the Martin Hewitt series, which served as a counterpoint to the more famous Sherlock Holmes stories. Beyond fiction, Morrison was an art collector and expert on Japanese art, contributing to its appreciation in the West.
