Autorenporträt
Archibald Marshall, born Arthur Hammond Marshall on 6 September 1866, was an English novelist, journalist, and publisher. His father, Arthur Marshall, was a businessman, and Archibald attended Highgate School before going on to study theology at Trinity College, Cambridge. Initially considering a career in the clergy, he eventually turned his focus to literature. Marshall published over 50 books, with his writing known for its realistic style. His work was particularly popular in the United States, where he was often seen as a successor to Anthony Trollope. He was made an honorary Doctor of Letters by Yale University in 1921. Marshall's career as a writer began with novels such as Lord Stirling's Son (1895) and Peter Binney, Undergraduate (1899). In 1905, he co-founded the publishing firm Alston Rivers, which published The House of Merrilees, a novel that had previously been rejected by several publishers. In addition to his novels, Marshall was deeply involved in journalism, working as a literary editor for The Daily News and later for The Daily Mail. His journalistic career included writing short stories for Punch. Marshall passed away on 29 September 1934.
