Charles Reade (1814–1884) was an accomplished English novelist and dramatist, renowned for his mastery in blending social criticism with a compelling narrative style. Born on June 8, 1814, in Ipsden, Oxfordshire, Reade attended Magdalen College, Oxford, and proceeded to a fellowship at Magdalen from 1835 to 1847. Although he initially studied law and was called to the bar, his passion lay firmly in the literary arts. Reade's works often tackled the social injustices of his time, and he was praised for his intricate plots and vivid characterization. His commitment to social reform is exemplified in novels such as 'It Is Never Too Late to Mend' (1856), which exposes the harsh conditions of British prisons, and 'Hard Cash' (1863), which delves into the malpractices in private asylums. Reade's portrayal of strong female characters, particularly in 'Griffith Gaunt' (1866) and 'The Cloister and the Hearth' (1861), also set him apart. 'The Cloister and the Hearth,' often regarded as his masterpiece, remains a historical novel of great significance, bringing the 15th century to life with impressive accuracy and detail.

Despite criticism for being overly didactic at times, Reade's work has maintained a respected position in Victorian literature for its earnestness and lively storytelling.
