Autor

Guy Thorne was the pen name of Cyril Arthur Edward Ranger Gull (1876 – 1923), an English novelist and journalist best known for his book 'When It Was Dark: The Story of a Great Conspiracy' (1903). Thorne's literary work is often characterized by its exploration of social and religious themes, with a particular focus on the societal impacts of moral and ethical crises. 'When It Was Dark' is a particularly notable example of this genre, as it deals with the consequences of a fabricated claim that challenges the foundational events of Christianity. The novel proved to be both popular and controversial, engaging readers with its gripping plot and raising existential questions pertinent to the era's religious skepticism and debate. Thorne's narrative technique often included sensationalism and an intricate plot structure, which captivated audiences of his time. His works reflect the anxieties and uncertainties of the turn-of-the-century period, providing insight into the cultural and religious psyche of early 20th-century England. While Thorne's popularity has waned since his early 20th-century peak, 'When It Was Dark' continues to be recognized as a significant work of its time, encapsulating the tensions and fears of a society on the cusp of modern secularism.
