Biographical History

American author.

From the description of Papers of Edgar Fawcett [manuscript], n.d. (University of Virginia). WorldCat record id: 647825809

Edgar Fawcett was a popular minor American author. Many of his novels explore the pursuits of status and money, which he found counterproductive to American democratic ideals. Although the sheer volume of his output often led to sloppy writing and repetitive plots, Fawcett was among the first to write in a realistic or naturalistic style.
