Autorenporträt

Guy Thorne is the pseudonym of Cyril Arthur Edward Ranger Gull (1876 – 1923), a prolific English novelist and journalist who gained popularity with his works in the early 20th century. Thorne's writing tends to fall under the genre of adventure fiction, although he has dabbled with various themes and settings throughout his career. 'The Angel' stands as one of his contributions to the romantic adventure sphere, exemplifying his capacity to weave intrigue with spirited characterization. Thorne's literary style is often reflective of the era's predilections, including explorations of morality, sensationalism, and the duality of human nature. Despite his numerous works, Thorne has not attained the lasting acclaim of some of his contemporaries, possibly due to the sensational and mass-market nature of many of his novels, a trait less celebrated in literary criticism. However, his works do provide an interesting snapshot of the period's popular culture and as such serve as valuable sources for socio-cultural historians desiring to explore the period's public appetite for fiction. His contribution to the field of literature, though not widely recognized in academic circles, continues to be appreciated by enthusiasts of historical novels and serialized fiction.
