About the author
Albert Edwards was the pen name of Arthur Bullard (1879–1929), an American writer, journalist, and public figure. Archival records and library sources connect the name Albert Edwards to Bullard's fiction, including Comrade Yetta and The Stranger, while also showing that he published other work under his own name.
His novels are often remembered for their interest in working people, social reform, and political conflict. Comrade Yetta, in particular, is tied to the world of immigrant labor and organizing in New York, giving his fiction an energy that still feels direct and purposeful.
Beyond fiction, Bullard wrote travel and political books shaped by his reporting and international experience. That wider background helps explain why the novels published as Albert Edwards feel so alert to public life: they are not just stories, but stories written by someone deeply engaged with the world around him.
