About the author
Born in 1870, Marguerite Bryant wrote under her own name and, after marriage, was also known as Marguerite Bryant Munn. Reference sources on late-Victorian and Edwardian writers identify her as the wife of scientist Philip Winchester Munn and list a substantial body of fiction beginning in the 1890s.
Her novels include A Great Responsibility, Morton Verlost, Christopher Hibbault: Roadmaker, Anne Kempburn, Truthseeker, and The Adjustment. The range of surviving catalog records suggests a steady publishing career over several decades, and the National Portrait Gallery records her as both a novelist and a playwright.
She died in 1962. Although she is not widely known today, her work still circulates through library catalogs, reprint editions, and digital archives, where modern readers can discover a writer who moved through several literary eras while continuing to tell stories about ambition, belief, and human relationships.
