Allen, (William) Hervey (Jr) (1889–1949)| US novelist, poet, and biographer. He is best known for his biography of Edgar Allan Poe, Israfel (1926), and the swashbuckling historical novel set in the Napoleonic period, Anthony Adverse (1933). |
| His diary of World War I, Toward the Flame (1926), was highly regarded. He published many volumes of poetry in the 1920s, and – after the popularity of Anthony Adverse – he wrote many other historical novels. Later novels were Action at Aquila (1938), The Front and the Fort (1943), Bedford Village (1945), and The City in the Dawn (1947). |
