R. S. Warren (Robert Stanley Warren) Bell

Writing under the name R. S. Warren, Robert Stanley Warren Bell was an English novelist and journalist born in 1871 and died in 1921. He published fiction that reached a wide popular audience, including works such as Company for George and Jim Mortimer.

Bell also had an important editorial role in periodical publishing. He is noted as the first editor of The Captain, a magazine known for adventure and school stories for young male readers at the end of the Victorian era.

Though not as widely known today as some of his contemporaries, his work reflects the tastes of a large readership in his time: brisk storytelling, magazine culture, and the world of popular late-19th- and early-20th-century fiction.
