Abstract
Arthur Morrison’s reputation entwines him with the lowest social levels of 1890s London and with the topographic specifics of the city’s eastern sector. V.S. Pritchett applied the label “an East End novelist” to Morrison in 1944 and it has stuck. Newer research emphasizes the specificity of different East End districts in Morrison’s writing. But Morrison was, equally, a writer of London’s hinterland. He needs rereading in a way that integrates London with its sociogeographic contexts.
