About
Sir Edward Howard Marsh was an English editor, translator, writer, and civil servant. In his career as a civil servant he worked as Private Secretary to a succession of Great Britain's most powerful ministers, particularly Winston Churchill. A classical scholar and translator, Marsh edited five anthologies of Georgian Poetry between 1912 and 1922, and he became Rupert Brooke's literary executor, editing his Collected Poems in 1918. Later in life he published verse translations of La Fontaine and Horace, and a translation of Fromentin's novel, "Dominique". The sales of the first three Georgian Poetry anthologies were impressive, ranging between 15,000 and 19,000 copies apiece.
