H. W. S. (Henry Wardel Snarey) Wright

H. W. S. Wright was the pen name of Henry Wardel Snarey Wright (1892–1976). The biographical details confirmed in the sources available here are limited, but library and public-domain records consistently identify him as the author of The Conquest of Cancer, first published in London in 1925.

That book presents cancer as a subject the general public needed to understand, not just fear. In its summary and catalog records, it is described as a practical, early-20th-century work that stressed public education, routine examination, and the value of detecting disease early.

Because reliable online biographical material about Wright himself appears to be scarce in the sources found during this search, it is safest to remember him chiefly through this book: a medically focused work written for ordinary readers at a time when cancer was still widely misunderstood.
