About the author
Born in Eaton, Ohio, in 1864, Marion Mills Miller was an American author and editor whose career moved between scholarship, teaching, and public affairs. A biographical reference credits him with earning an A.B. from Princeton in 1886 and later serving there as an instructor and assistant professor of English in the late 1880s and early 1890s.
After that, he was associated with political reform work in New York before focusing on writing and editing. Library records and public-domain catalogs show how wide his interests were: he worked on collections of Greek and Latin literature, historical surveys, literary reference books, and major compilations such as Great Debates in American History and American Debate.
Miller died in 1949. He is remembered less as a novelist than as a tireless literary organizer—someone who gathered, translated, explained, and arranged large bodies of material for general readers, making history, classics, and public thought easier to explore.
