George William MacArthur Reynolds was a journalist and, as author of "penny dreadful" serials, one of the most popular authors of Victorian England. He was also a leading proponent of the working-class Chartist movement for expanded suffrage and other populist Parliamentary reforms.

Quotes by George W.M. Reynolds (?)

“how from time to time some young and beautiful nun had suddenly disappeared, to the surprise and alarm of her companions; how piercing shrieks had been heard to issue from the interior of the building, by those who passed near it at night,—and how the inmates themselves were often aroused from their slumbers by strange noises resembling the rattling of chains, the working of ponderous machinery, and the revolution of huge wheels.”
― George W.M. Reynolds, Penny Dreadful Multipack Vol. 1: Wagner The Wehr-Wolf; Varney the Vampire; The Mysteries of London

“truly, on the brink of the tomb no animosity should ever find a resting-place in the human heart.”
― George W.M. Reynolds, Penny Dreadful Multipack Vol. 1: Wagner The Wehr-Wolf; Varney the Vampire; The Mysteries of London
