Arthur Hammond Marshall (6 September 1866 – 29 September 1934), better known by his pen name Archibald Marshall, was an English author, publisher and journalist whose novels were particularly popular in the United States. He published over 50 books and was recognised as a realist in his writing style,[1] and was considered by some as a successor to Anthony Trollope.[2] Educated at Cambridge University, he was later (in 1921) made an honorary Doctor of Letters by Yale University.[3] He travelled widely and made numerous notable acquaintances.[4]
