    Arthur Morrison

    Arthur Morrison (1863-1945) was an English writer and journalist known for his authentic portrayal of London’s working class and his detective stories. His most popular work is A Child of the Jago , a gripping work that fictionalizes a misfortunate area of London that Morrison was familiar with. Starting his writing career as a reporter, Morrison worked his way up the ranks of journalism, eventually becoming an editor. Along with his work as a journalist and author, Morrison was also a Japanese art collector, and published several works on the subject. After his death in 1945, Morrison left his art collection to the British Museum, with whom he had a close relationship with.

      Sixty Years On The Street Of Shame

      Mar 8, 2023

      I am now marking 60 years as a working scribe. I favour the word ‘scribe' rather than ‘hack'. The latter implies, surely implausibly, that a journalist will do anyone's bidding for money. There have been vast changes in the media since my debut in jo

      I love detective stories and I have become more and more interested in the beginnings of the genre. To this end, I read a lot of Victorian detective stories. Martin Hewitt operated in the same London as Sherlock Holmes, but Hewitt is cheerful and working class as opposed to Holmes' idiosyncratic aesthete. The 8 stories in this collection are pleasant and relatively clever, but Hewitt is a fairly generic character and none of his opponents are memorably evil or terribly clever. Pleasant read, but nothing sticks much
