About the author

Edward Henry Nolan was a British author and journalist active in the mid-19th century. The British Museum lists him as an author/poet, and library records connect his name with works on British India, the Crimean War, and multi-volume histories of England.

He appears to have written for a wide general audience rather than a narrow academic one. Titles associated with him include The Illustrated History of the War Against Russia and The Illustrated History of the British Empire in India and the East, along with historical works published in collaboration or combination with other well-known historians.

Reliable biographical detail on his personal life is quite sparse in the sources I could confirm, so it is safest to remember him mainly through his publications: a prolific Victorian storyteller of war, empire, and national history.
