About the author
Born in 1870 and later known as Marguerite Bryant Munn after marriage, she wrote novels and plays across several decades. The At the Circulating Library database identifies her as the wife of Philip Winchester Munn, F.R.S., and lists early titles including A Great Responsibility and Morton Verlost, both published in 1895.
Library and catalog records show a substantial body of fiction, with works such as Christopher Hibbault: Roadmaker, Anne Kempburn, Truthseeker, The Adjustment, The Shadow on the Stone, and Felicity Crofton. National Portrait Gallery records describe her specifically as a novelist and playwright, suggesting a career that reached beyond the novel alone.
She died in 1962. While she is not widely known today, the survival of her books in collections such as Project Gutenberg, HathiTrust, and the Internet Archive points to a career that was both productive and durable, especially for readers interested in overlooked women writers of the period.
