Arthur Morrison Biography

Arthur Morrison (1863-1945) was an English writer and journalist, best known for his realistic depictions of working-class life in London's East End. He was born in Poplar, London, and grew up in poverty, which strongly influenced his writing. Morrison began his career as a journalist, working for various newspapers and magazines, including the Evening Standard and the Daily Chronicle. In 1896, he published his first novel, "A Child of the Jago," which was based on his experiences living in the slums of East London. The novel was a critical success and established Morrison as an important voice in the literary movement known as "slum fiction." Morrison went on to write several other novels, including "Tales of Mean Streets" (1894), "To London Town" (1899), and "The Hole in the Wall" (1902). He also wrote short stories, plays, and non-fiction works on London's history and architecture. Morrison died in 1945 at the age of 82, leaving behind a legacy of powerful, realistic portrayals of life in London's working-class neighborhoods.
