An early-20th-century novelist whose work reached readers through Dodd, Mead and now lives on in the public domain. He is best known for Gloria, a 1910 novel that mixes romance, travel, and political intrigue.

by George Frederic Turner
Project Gutenberg’s catalog identifies George Frederic Turner as an author born in 1876 and credits him with Gloria, originally published by Dodd, Mead and Company in 1910. The novel was later digitized by major public libraries and is now available through Project Gutenberg and the Internet Archive, which has helped keep his work accessible to modern readers.
Online book records also connect him with Frost and Friendship, suggesting a small but recognizable body of fiction from the early 1900s. Reliable biographical details beyond his birth year are scarce in the sources I could confirm, so much of his life remains hard to trace.
What does come through clearly is the flavor of his writing: dramatic situations, international settings, and a taste for old-fashioned adventure and romance. For listeners who enjoy rediscovered fiction from the 1900s, his work offers a glimpse of a once-published author now waiting to be found again.
