Hide Profile

Addison Irving Bacheller was an author and journalist, probably best remembered for his pioneering literary syndicate. Born in New York to an old New England family - his mother was descended from John Alden and Priscilla Mullins - he was named after authors Joseph Addison and Washington Irving. He graduated from St. Lawrence University and within a few years had founded his syndicate, which was both profitable and ground-breaking, and brought works from authors like Stephen Crane and Arthur Conan Doyle a large American audience. Bacheller was also a journalist, and published numerous novels, many espousing his social theories. Reluctance to embrace literary modernism impacted his popularity and legacy, and his memoirs tend to obscure his past rather than clarify it, but his syndicate was a great boon to authors and readers alike.
