Ex-Labour MP Stan Newens will explore the life and work of journalist and author Arthur Morrison.
In this talk, ex-Labour MP Stan Newens will explore the life and work of journalist and author Arthur Morrison.
Morrison was born in the East End in 1863 and whilst working at the Evening Globe newspaper published several novels which became classics in their depictions of poverty and violence, most famously Tales of Mean Streets (1894) and A Child of the Jago (1896) — the latter a barely fictionalised account of life in the Old Nichol Street Rookery.
A study of Morrison by Stan Newens will be published in 2008 and this talk will reveal many previously unknown facts about the author and his life.
