E. H. (Edward Henry) Nolan

Edward Henry Nolan was a British author and historian active in the mid-19th century. The clearest reference found describes him as the historian behind The Illustrated History of the War against Russia and places him in print by 1856.

His surviving bibliography shows a strong interest in large-scale historical storytelling. Works associated with him include The Illustrated History of the War against Russia, The History of the British Empire in India and the East, The Liberators of Italy, and a later contribution to The History of England in Three Volumes. These books suggest a writer drawn to military history, imperial history, and broad narrative surveys for general readers.

Reliable biographical detail about Nolan himself appears to be scarce, so much of his life remains indistinct. What stands out clearly is the scope of his published work: richly titled, ambitious histories that aimed to explain major conflicts and political change to a Victorian audience.
