John Goldworth Alger

John Goldworth Alger (1836–1907) was an English author, minister, and historian whose books are still noted for their lively treatment of the French Revolution. He wrote extensively on revolutionary France, including works such as Englishmen in the French Revolution and Paris in 1789–94: Farewell Letters of Victims of the Guillotine.

Records from major library catalogs confirm him as an active writer in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and his surviving books show a strong interest in political upheaval, biography, and the human stories behind major historical events. His writing is especially appealing to listeners who enjoy history told through letters, lives, and firsthand detail.
