Rachel Hayward

Rachel Hayward is credited as the author of The Hippodrome, a novel first published in 1913 by George H. Doran Company. Library and archive records also identify her as having been born in 1886, but beyond that, reliable public information about her life appears to be scarce.

Her work has stayed accessible through projects such as Project Gutenberg and the Internet Archive, which have helped keep The Hippodrome in circulation for modern readers. That surviving record suggests a writer whose published work outlasted the details of her personal story.

Because confirmed biographical sources are so limited, it is safest to remember her primarily through the novel itself rather than through claims that cannot be verified.
