Hugh Stowell Scott

Hugh Stowell Scott

Hugh Stowell Scott (1863? - 1903) was a novelist (under the pseudonym of Henry Seton Merriman). He was an underwriter in Lloyd's, but having a strong literary bent, latterly devoted himself to writing novels, many of which had great popularity. They include "The Slave of the Lamp" (1892), "The Sowers" (generally considered his best) (1896), "In Kedar's Tents" (1897), "Roden's Corner" (1898), "Isle of Unrest" (1900), "The Velvet Glove" (1901), "The Vultures" (1902), and "Barlasch of the Guard" (1903). He worked with great care, and his best books hold a high place in modern fiction. He was unusually modest and retiring in character.
