Max Pemberton
Sir Max Pemberton (19 June 1863 – 22 February 1950) was a popular British novelist, working mainly in the adventure and mystery genres. He was educated at St Albans School, Merchant Taylors' School, and Caius College, Cambridge. A clubman, journalist and dandy (Lord Northcliffe admired his 'fancy vests'), he frequented both Fleet Street and The Savage Club.
Pemberton was the editor of boys' magazine ''Chums'' in 1892–1893 during its heyday. Between 1896 and 1906 he also edited ''Cassell's Magazine'' (see ()), in which capacity he published the early works of R. Austin Freeman and William Le Queux.
His most famous work ''The Iron Pirate'' was a best-seller during the early 1890s and it launched his prolific writing career (see below). It was the story of a great gas-driven iron-clad, which could outpace the navies of the world and terrorised the Atlantic Ocean. Other notable works included ''Captain Black'' (1911).
During January 1908, Pemberton had a story entitled ''Wheels of Anarchy'' published by Cassell & Company (London). This story was based upon notes that were written by Bertram Fletcher Robinson shortly before he died in January 1907. It is an adventure tale about anarchists and assassins that is set across Europe. The novel's hero and narrator, Bruce Driscoll, a recent Cambridge graduate, appears to be modelled upon Fletcher Robinson. ''Wheels of Anarchy by Max Pemberton'' was republished in December 2010.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wheels of Anarchy by Max Pemberton )〕
Pemberton was member of a criminology literary society known as 'Our Society' along with eleven other notable members including Bertram Fletcher Robinson and Arthur Conan Doyle.
In 1920, Pemberton founded the London School of Journalism, wrote a biography about Alfred Harmsworth, 1st Viscount Northcliffe and was knighted. He was married to Alice Tussaud, granddaughter of Madame Marie Tussaud and daughter of Joseph Tussaud.
Pemberton also wrote a biography of Sir Henry Royce published in 1934 shortly after Royce's death.
