Arthur George Morrison (1 November 1863 - 4 December 1945) was an English writer and journalist known for his realistic novels and stories about working-class life in London's East End, and for his detective stories, featuring the detective Martin Hewitt. He also collected Japanese art and published several works on the subject. He left a large collection of paintings and other works of art to the British Museum after his death in 1945. Morrison's best known work of fiction is his novel A Child of the Jago (1896). (wikipedia.org)

Total genius. A depth of characterisation and atmosphere worthy of Dickens. Morrison depicts the picaresque life of the East End of London at the turn of the 20th century with humanity and humour. While it is a mystery story, following loosely in the genre of Morrison's earlier Martin Hewitt detective stories, its power lies in its exquisitely restrained writing. Why is Morrison not taught at universities, alongside Conrad? (John Yeoman)
