Thomas Mayne Reid
Thomas Mayne Reid (4 April 1818 – 22 October 1883) was a British novelist who fought in the Mexican–American War (1846–1848). His many works on American life describe colonial policy in the American colonies, the horrors of slave labour, and the lives of American Indians. "Captain" Reid wrote adventure novels akin to those by Frederick Marryat (1792-1848), and Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894). They were set mainly in the American West, Mexico, South Africa, the Himalayas, and Jamaica. He was an admirer of Lord Byron. His novel ''Quadroon'' (1856), an anti-slavery work, was later adapted as a play entitled ''The Octoroon'' (1859) by Dion Boucicault and produced in New York.While Reid's novels have become almost completely forgotten in the Anglosphere, they have remained popular in Eastern Europe and particularly in Russia (ever since the Czar of Russia / House of Romanov imperial dynasty of the Russian Empire period), being considered a part of Western literature canon and published under the category of "World Classics" (along with Jack London and James Fenimore Cooper).
