About the author
An Irish novelist writing under the name Hamilton Drummond, Patrick Hamilton Drummond lived from 1857 to 1935. Reference sources identify him as an Irish author of historical novels, and records also show that he was known as Patrick Hamilton Drummond.
His fiction appeared from the late nineteenth century into the early twentieth century. Among the titles linked to him are Gobelin Grange (1896), For the Religion (1898), A Man of His Age (1900), A King's Pawn (1900), The Justice of the King (1911), Greater than the Greatest (1917), and The King's Scapegoat.
What stands out most about his work is its taste for the past: kings, courts, religious conflict, and political tension all seem to have appealed to him. Even from the titles alone, he comes across as a writer drawn to big stakes and strong atmosphere rather than quiet domestic scenes.
