Anthony Pryde

Best known for early-20th-century novels such as Nightfall, Clair de Lune, and Marqueray's Duel, this author wrote fiction centered on relationships, inner conflict, and social pressure. The surviving record is thin, which gives the work an air of mystery as well as period charm.

About the author

Anthony Pryde appears in library and public-domain records as a novelist active mainly in the 1920s. Confirmed titles include Nightfall (first published in 1921), Clair de Lune (1922), Marqueray's Duel (1920), Jenny Essenden (1921), The City of Lilies (1923), Spanish Sunlight (1925), Rowforest (1927), and The Lily and the Sword (1929).

What can be said with confidence is that Pryde wrote English-language fiction that continued to circulate long after first publication. Nightfall has been preserved by Project Gutenberg, and library listings show a small but notable body of novels from the interwar years.

Beyond the books themselves, biographical details are hard to verify from reliable public sources. No clear, well-sourced profile or portrait was confirmed during this search, so Pryde remains one of those writers known more through the survival of the novels than through a fully documented life story.
