Autorenporträt
George William MacArthur Reynolds (1814-1879) was a notable figure in Victorian popular literature, extensively known for his sensation novels that blended elements of gothic horror, historical romance, and social commentary. Born in Sandwich, Kent, Reynolds initially tried his hand at business before fully committing to a literary career. His prolific output and sensational content helped him to out-sell contemporaries like Charles Dickens at the height of his popularity. Among his most famous novels is 'Wagner, the Wehr-Wolf' (1847), a daring blend of the gothic and the gruesome, illustrating his fascination with the darker aspects of human nature and the supernatural. This novel is exemplary of his broader literary style, which involved serialized narratives intertwining melodrama with an exploration of the societal issues of his day, such as class disparity and the exploitation of the poor. Reynolds's literature, though less esteemed by critics in comparison to his contemporaries, resonated with the working-class readers due to its confronting look at moral corruption and his willingness to critique the established social order. His work, once widely read yet subsequently marginalized, has seen a resurgence of academic interest in recent years, acknowledging his role in shaping Victorian popular fiction and the penny dreadful genre.
